This. They don’t know how to (or just don’t want to) just hand out at home and be together.

Cue all the people saying that have plenty of time for activities 7 days a week and still plenty of family time, on top of school/jobs. The math doesn’t work. [/quote]

How cute that you think having two parents who get home by 5 every night in order to have a sit down dinner with their 2.4 kids is the only way to be a family or spend family time.[/quote]

You can spend 20 minutes eating dinner and ignoring each other for the of the night.  That's what my family did.  We each went and stayed in our rooms all night.  Dad got the family room, and we couldn't use it when he was there or we'd have to watch his boring stuff.  Even when home there was little family time.

I spend hours in the car with my kids.  We talk, we sometimes stop to eat, etc.[/quote]

The fact that you all think being a family means eating together tells me that you have no clue. The fact is that when you spend the bulk of your free time in separate places you are not being a family. You’re only a unit when you sleep. You have great talks in the car because that’s the only time you’re with your kids. [/quote]

What a bizarre take. Do you cease to be a family when your kids are in school for the day? Does your cubemate become your family when you share office space? Your family is always your family, near or far, whether you’re in the same room or not at all times. [/quote]
