I don’t think quantity time is as special as quality time with your family.

McEntire contrasts “quantity time” with “quality time,” arguing that the value of family life is measured less by sheer hours spent together than by the attention, presence, and care brought to those moments. The line reflects a common modern tension—busy work schedules, travel, and public obligations—where guilt about not being constantly available can be reframed into a focus on meaningful connection. Implicitly, it also critiques performative togetherness: being physically present but distracted is less “special” than deliberate, engaged time. The quote’s significance lies in its practical ethic of intimacy: prioritize depth, not duration, and make limited time count through genuine involvement.
