What is the best way to spend time with your family?

Answer 1

at this point everyone has gotten used to going their separate ways, so you're going to have to ease into this... don't expect things to change immediately.



why is your mother working so much? is she really working or just not coming home? it does sound as if you've been somewhat abandoned. you need to speak up. have a talk with your mother and tell her you're feeling neglected and would like to have some more time together.



you could start by helping her prepare dinner and help clean up afterward. do your nails together, try new make-up. it really is the little everyday things that make so much difference.



after that, maybe y'all can go to the movies together then out to eat. just normal stuff that everyone does.



as for your father, you're going to have to break him in to the idea, too. when you go stay with him, how about a bbq? you just have to try to find some common ground to meet him on.

Answer 2

The best way to spend time is during meal times. If you sit down for a meal together that is the time to talk and share your day. If you don't sit down to dinner together then try at breakfast. You can make this a special time by helping to prepare the meal and talking about your day. Try it - it will help

Answer 3

Make and eat a meal together!
