""I make sure my son knows why, but the idea of I can lay down and go, 'Alright, I did a good job today,' 'cause I feel like you have work, you have parenting and you have rest and recreation. I feel like you can only pick two of those a day to be good at.""
""It's better now because I've got more of a set schedule - but when I was crisscrossing the country as a correspondent, yeah, I'd spend three days somewhere and wouldn't see my son or, later, my daughter, but quality over quantity.""

Roy Wood Jr. emphasizes the pursuit of perfection in parenting while acknowledging its unrealistic nature. He recognizes his absence due to career travel but ensures his son understands the reasons. Wood believes balancing work, parenting, and personal time is challenging, often allowing only two of those aspects to be prioritized daily. Craig Melvin supports this view, highlighting the importance of quality experiences over mere time spent with children, suggesting that making peace with missed events can be compensated through meaningful vacations.
