For example, does it matter that your wife is more likely to be understanding (and even happy) that you were preoccupied spending quality time with your son? Whereas your son is less likely to understand (or, at least, he is not likely to be happy) that you didn't go out with him because you wanted to help with groceries?<br /><br />Or, another example: Does it matter that one of the things is a chore while the other is for fun? Of course, given the right circumstances, they could both a be a chore to [I]you[/I], but I meant for the other people involved.
