My mother used to send us outside, not to return until lunch. Then we needed to wash up and head back out, returning home when the street lights came on. But I stress over how much time I do, or don't, spend with my daughter. My husband is the same and we are both in our 30's! I agree. My mother used to send us outside, not to return until lunch.

I certainly don't remember my parents spending as much time with me "playing" as I seem to be required to, particularly my dad. I don't love him any less today, but yet I feel the same kind of guilt you're describing if I don't spend every available second with the kids. You’re not alone.
