Just spend quality time each day without rushing around all over the place.

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 That's a good thought if you have nice parents...but most parents are stressed out, and they aren't always very nice.
That’s what I mean....everyone is stressed out because they have to rush the kids here and there, they work long hours to make ends meet, money problems, job problems, marriage problems etc etc etc.
There is too much going on in the lives in families and people need to just slow down.@4meAndyou

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 I remember my Dad took us for a "Sunday drive" every week. Although it was fun if we were allowed to get out of the car, it was pretty boring for a little kid. And sometimes we never got out of the car. I suppose some people would say it was quality time, but it didn't involve much thought about interacting with a child.
On Saturday nights we had a nice meal and then when our shows came on we made popcorn and sat around and watched our favourite shows. Sunday’s we went to church, lunch, after, and drives to the park or lake. @4meAndyou

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 That sounds nice. You got to get out of the car at nice places.
Friday, Saturday, and Sundays were family time. We also went to basketball games on Saturday nights. I remember my dad took us sledding in the wintertime. It was so much fun. @4meAndyou
