When I think of myself as a parent, time with my kids is important. As is providing for all their other needs as well. Finding the balance is the hard part, and really, I think that's what lots of other parents find too. You want them to have nice stuff, and to be proud of themselves etc, but you also want them to be emotionally secure too which means time and encouragement. Giving them the correct ratio of time vs providing for is hard.
