Yes, love can not be compared with Money. Let us take modern families as examples now, there are many parents that are too busy with their businesses and their kids are having the materials things that they need but not the love from their parents. Money or material things is not enough, it is the love that matters. For parents there, learn to give more love to your family. I love the title that says Money Does Not Equal Love.

My youngest's favorite activity, hands down, is to have me read books to her. This can be done at our home with our few books, or at a library, costing nothing. My oldest's favorite activity is doing some sort of physical activity where we can talk while we do it. Almost anything anywhere will work. Climbing trees, kicking a ball, exploring a new park, at a playground, etc. As long as conversation can happen simultaneously. I've found that nothing can replace these simple and usually free things. Like the post read and some of these comments echoed, what they really want is their parents. Time with their parents.

Collins Sun, 06 Dec 2009 03:03:48 +0000 http://christianpf.com/?p=4198#comment-18437 I definitely agree with you. I have 3 young growing boys that I have made a decision to spend quality time with them especially when they are still young. We only have one chance to do it and even if we have to sacrifice some of our own comfort and conveniences, it would be absolutely worth it when we enjoy the fruit of our labor later when they grow up to be fine men that make us proud as parents.

There is nothing more valuable than time. @Jason I hope you won. When it comes to kids and games it's important to teach them that winning is everything. (he,he,he - that is true isn't it?) @Len Enjoy the hugs and kisses. Talk about 'priceless'. Can you really be a good dad and not buy everything for your kids? Sounds like an oxymoron to me. @Joe Someone once told me you can never know when you'll really have "quality time with your kids, so you'd better be sure to spend a lot of quantity time just to be sure you don't miss it". I completely agree. Interesting observation on the spending - do we spend money on our kids just to appease our guilty consciences? @ Miranda
