If had a choice between doubling your income or spending six extra hours a week with your child which one would you pick?

It's not the quantity of time you spend with a child, it really is the quality.
I think I already spend good quality time - so I'd go for the money.

Stan W's comment is right! Research has shown it's not the amount of time that you spend with your child that is beneficial, it's the QUALITY of time. There are plenty of working parents who may not spend as much time with their children compared to moms or dads who stay at home, but they make up for it by spending time with their children doing things together. So, go for the money and don't feel guilty as long as you make the effort to spend time with your child doing activities together and having meals, etc...
