Take Time To Be A Family

pcgames by pcgames Speaking(February 2007) (rank 500+)

Hi everyone,

I know I must be crazy but the holidays are finished and it is so quiet around here even with four little ones at home, but you know I miss the kids and was just laughing to myself about stuff we did together in the holidays. I

also have come to realise that the saying "YOU DON"T MISS WHAT YOU HAVE UNTIL IT'S GONE" this is so true for me today.I hope all you parents get some sort of quality time with your children be it young or old as this is really what gives me as a parent a sense of self worth at the end of the day. I can only hope that it will continue into my older years as nothing could possibly be more important than family and Ihope it's true for you too.

Good advice.  I hope you dont mind, but I added a couple of tags to your advice. 
Also you should check out the TAC (Total Attention Challenge).  This is something that a few of us on Minti do to improve our quality time spent with our children.
Peace

So true
I love when I go out (for my time out) and come back to my kids who want hugs and say"I miss you" What could be better, than to know you are appreciated and loved by those who you do so much for, live for even.

I agree
I normally am a stay at home mum. I have just taken a part time job. I worked for 8 hours on saturday and missed my kids like crazy. And it felt sooooo good to come home and for my kids to show how much they missed me too.
