[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dinner most nights, shooting baskets in the driveway, occasional outings to the batting cages or a climbing wall, Friday Pizza and a movie, games of Uno, Not Parent Approved, etc (quick hands of a card game, basically).[/quote] Are your teens really young? By 15 most wouldn’t do this stuff as a family unit. [/quote] I don't think you can say "most". In our case, it's not optional, anyway. The kids are expected to do family things with the family. It's not always exactly what they want to do, but they don't complain (and sometimes they get to choose.) If you want to enjoy family time with the kids you have to make it a priority, which means not always making it a choice. Usually the kids enjoy things like hiking and concerts etc, even though if asked beforehand, they'd have chosen stay at home and play on the computer. [/quote]
