We try to head it off with daily quality time - Rain Dog reads most bedtime stories, while I try to do that about once a week (and especially when I've been on deadline). I might take him shopping on the weekends or even just fifteen minutes here and there playing with him - building a block city, letting him chase me, etc. Or, honestly, watching one of his TV shows with him so we can chat about it.<br/><br/>I think no matter how strapped you are, you always find the time for the things and people that matter most to you. For me, the writing still gets done, and the kids still get time. Housework? Not so much. ;) Well, ever since Boris was born, we’ve noticed that hitting really increases as an attention-getting behavior when Hamlet isn’t getting enough.
