Do you spend enough time with your family?Or you are the busy one not able to spend time for days with your family?I had one uncvle of mine whose son would not talk to his father because he had hardly met him during his growing days. One do all the hard work for the family but if that family is not able to enjoy your company than whats the use?

I am a home-maker, but still i feel sometimes that nowadays children r going away from their parents.Schools, their work etc and then they want to play,its opposite in my case, i feel that they don't have much time for me.I miss playing with them and talking and laughing.

The first one who influences man's conciousness is the mother. You get that conciousness in a group of individuals called family. For the same concept I may say that it would be better to spend much time with them rather than spending time in someone else's family. During the times when you are down, I know that no one will ever care much than your family it self so better have more time with them than with the others.

I wish I could spend more time with my family. I am a very family oriented person. I am the oldest of 9 grandchildren and the one and only to my parents. I am very close with my immediate family, such as, my aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents and such. I moved out of town, out of state a year ago and haven't been home but twice since. It's hard with work and money to just up and fly back home over 1,000 miles as much as I would like to but I make sure to keep in contact through e-mail, phone calls, silly faxes and letters and pictures. I miss my family greatly and for those that stop speaking with their families for a petty reason that could be resolved by a simple conversation, I feel bad for them. Because int he end they will realize they have missed so much in the years they neglected their families.

A nice discussion which needs attention of youngsters.I personally spend enough time with my home people.we watch TV together, dine together whenever we all are at home , debate on issues ,chat and enjoy our times together. Only when we spend time with our family we will be able to get along very well and understand them much better.Distance will widen the relationships. The one who is living abroad away from home crowd will defintely say how much he misses his family members as we done realise the life at home when we are together and realise when we go out somewhere regarding work, studying. etc.,

Well,yes I spend full time with my family.I think somebody had to sacrifice for the family.I think your uncle had done that to give his son all the needs.But for that if he wont spend time to his father then I think its not good.Afterall he is his father.I think son should realize one day he will be a father and if his son does with him how he will feel.Parents are parents I think we dont have any right to ignore them.
