Do you have "family time"?

I have a very large family outside of my own. Personally I am married with four children so everyday at my house is nuts. I love it though. I homeschool my children and have an eight month old. Things get crazy, but it is something new everyday. I live in a small town where I have many relatives. My mother has eight brothers and sisters who each have 2 or more children of their own who now have two or more children of their own. We get together several times a year all in all there is about a hundred of us now. I can be stressful, but usually we have a great time. The numerous kids get together and the adults get together. It is great to have such a large family. Enjoy it while you can. Once you have children of your own it is hard to spend time with the adults of the family or the kids. Aunts and uncles carry a special place in a child's heart. Create your space their with those children while you have none. It will make a huge difference in your life later. My family gets on my nerves like everyone elses, but I cannot imagine a world without it.

HI I have a happy family of six members MY grand mother,motherfather,sister, my wife and me.my father,sister and wife all are teacher so they do there job in day time. my grandmother is a old lady and my mothere is a house wife she stay at home doing all household works. myself an selfemployed architect my office and home are in same premises. we take dinner together and talk about their daily experinces.

its from 7-30 till the time i go to sleep from monday to saturday and the whole day on sundays. did that sound like a prescription?? but this is reality marababe. i hardly get anytime and once i return from work, that's after 7-00 i try to spend quality time with my family (that includes my parents only). i know that's very less time but i bet the quality cannot be compared wity the quantity!! what do you feel?

I'm currently staying with my husband and my sister. We will have dinner together sometimes, it depends on what time we finish our work. Should this be considered as our 'family time'? Well, I enjoy the time when my parents come to my house or when I go back to my hometown. That's what I really consider it as 'family time'. We usually have breakfast, lunch and dinner together, chit chatting and talking about our lives. Sometimes, I'll also sit beside my mum and chit chat with her, just to hear what she wants to say to me. well, sometimes older people really want to talk, especially all of us staying away from home.

It seems that you don't like staying with children. Me too. I still remember how excited I was when my sister gave birth a baby. But after about two weeks, I felt really tired of the baby. Now my niece is 6 and I often find myself tired and bored to be with her for more than an hour. I live in a different city from my parents' and sister's, so we don't have much time to get together. I enjoy my life without family in this city. But I am still looking forward to some holidays that I can go back to my parents' home and have family reunion for several days.

Spending time with my family, my parents and my sisters is really a big deal for me. Everytime we are together, I am really happy and I feel secured in their presence. I made sure that at least in a month, I will be able to spend 2 weekends with them, just to chat and hang around. It's really the best times of my life!

My husband, son, and I don't live near family, so it's just the three of us. We like to go out and do things together, like shopping and playing at a park. We try to set time aside every week to do something together.

hello,marabsbe.I think when i stay with my all family members it's callde my "family time".I was very like this time,it give me so much happy.what you? I look the discussion and know you don't like manmy children in the house.I very like children but it's only for one child.I also boring of so many kids in the house.I was so expect someday i have my family with my wife and baby.I think it's so happy.

On my nights off (Wednesday and Thursday) we have "family date night" where my husband, my son and I go run errands, eat out, and sometimes just go to the park or for a drive. We also spend time with my parents on Sundays. My sister and my in-laws all live in another state so we don't see them as often, but we do plan "family time" when they're around. It's interesting seeing others' ideas and and views about spending time with family; this is a good discussion!

We spend family time every sunday. We go to church, after that we go to mall, watch movie, strolling. At home, my brother and i always bullying my youngest sister. and also my mother sometimes..
