Can I wait until work is less busy to spend more time with a young child?

Do not always expect to make up companionship once work is quieter. A child's present age will not return. Work and income matter, but relationships also need personal time.

We discussed adults feeling they continually support family while children remember mother or grandparents and little of father's presence. Parental effort is real, as is the child's wish for company. Different positions leave different memories.

Some failures allow another attempt, while some time needs cherishing now. Companionship cannot remain only a future intention. Are you actually involved in today's experiences? Being a parent alongside growth requires valuing present opportunities.

During New Year I watched a series with my daughter Qian Qian, then discussed characters, friendships, and lessons with teenagers at home. Different observations helped me understand them. Shared activity can create memories rather than only arranging lessons. That was our experience, not a recommendation of the same work for every age.

I treasured seeing Blackpink in Kaohsiung with her. Her first concert was with Dad, and it became my happy memory too. Shared enjoyment need not always teach a lesson. Stay within means; valuing time matters more than measuring love through expense.
