We specially spend time together at home most of the time, even on weekends we'll just gather around in the living room or outside the garden and talking about what everything that happened on each of us. Of course we also go out on certain occasions, going to the beach, to the mall, and taking the children to parks and other places where they can play.Not so much in the movie theaters thought because not everyone can enter every time. How about you how do you spend time with your family? Or do you spend time with your family at all?

My family and I like to go to places like the beach and the mountains. Last year, we went to the mountains and had a lot of fun there going to the park and also going to the mall of course. This year we went to a very nice beach resort and also had a lot of fun. My mom wanted to go to different places every year and we are hoping that maybe next year or in the years to come, we are also going to travel outside the country. I hope by this time my father will overcome his fear of riding in a airplane.

I still live at home with my parents so therefor i spent everynight with my parents. I do talk to my family almost everyday as they only live a couple miles from me. Well that family is my moms side of the family. My dad's side i barely ever talk to as they really dont like us. My mom's side of the family i see almost every week and we do everything together. Are vacations are with each other and we all have a great time. We go out on the boat and we go out to dinner, go shopping and most everything together. The girls in the family all get together really good and my mom has two sisters and they have all have daughters and i try and get something going every weekend to were we so see eachother.

Oh, we do lots of family bonding. Last week, we just went out for a family summer trip. We're a group of 28 so it's been really cool to stay overnight at the resort and did some aqua activities on daytime.. Had buffet for our meals, and we're traveling via convoy. =)

Hi grays, I'm living miles away from my family so during weekend I just have to spend my time alone, but I have a very special way to spend time with my parents though they are not here with me, I spend for an long distance call and chat with my mom for almost 2 hours and sing for her over the phone I used of doing that and my mom love it when she hear me singing and playing guitar in a long distance call, weird but that's the only way I can spend my time with them ,.. Happy myLOtting!

A very different kind of spending time with family member but I that's very effective in making the long distance family member feels that even though they're far away they are still remembered and cared for. Specially when singing and playing the guitar over the phone, quite exquisite way of saying that you love them.You're mother will always think that she has a very nice daughter caring for her. ...nice day!

Hi, there. In the daytime, we usually go out for a walk in the park unless it rains, or do some shopping. While in the evening or on rainy days, we stay at home, playing cards or watching TV. On the occasion of traditional festivals, we usually visit our relativs and have dinner with them. That's my life. :) Have a nice day.

that's kinda sad, but alt least you can still see them on vacation, and after you graduated you can spend more time with them...catch up for the lost times.

i spend all my time to be together with my family.because now i don't have a job.i am in the dining room,the living room,our small yard with my parents who don't like to be out.it seems that we don't have many things to talk about.the reason is that we have been familiar with each other very much.but i don't feel it is boring to me and i've been used to living like that.

because we are parents who busy, we usually take the time to our children on Saturday and Sunday. On the second day, we strive to create unity in carrying out a activity, not have go to the mall or a place of recreation, at home was enough for me

Hi, hello We all have work, I am pertaining to my siblings and all of us are living on our own already. We visit our parents if there is an occasion only. We barely go out anymore because we have to be practical. But if there is extra then we treat our parents. That's it. But I will try to visit them more often because I don't want to regret in the end.

being at home with the family is just as meaningful. catching up with the kids. planning schedules and paste them up on the fridge or in their rooms.
