Random Statistic

Whether or not this is actually true, it's interesting to think about.

I heard yesterday that the average American parent spends 40 minutes a week playing with their children and 6 HOURS a week shopping.

Just some food for thought...

Eew! That is sad. There was a study done about how much direct interaction kids had with their dad each day. (Not counting like "Pick up your toys.") The dads had to wear a mic for this. The average was something like 30 SECONDS a day.

I think you're doing way better than the national average! :) Of course, Conlan is way more entertaining than the average child, don't you think?

I hope I'm doing better. Conlan is very entertaining though. If I'm not paying attention to him enough, he definitely lets me know.
