What does your family do to have quality time? 

19 Answers

We often get together and have a braai and drinks. A braai in this corner of the world (southern Africa) is a barbeque. It's not exactly the same as what people in other parts of the world have. We usually have 3-4 various types of meat and salads with our barbeque. Typical meat includes beef steaks, chicken and lamb chops. We also have boerewors, a type of sausage that's unique to southern Africa. For salads, we like to have a green salad, potato salad and coleslaw. Often, we'll also add to the mix some pap, which is basically stiff porridge. A braai is good for hanging out with friends and family while eating great food, dancing and basically being merry.

Always remember that if you value a relationship, you give TIme. Time is very precious and should be spent well. Sharing stories during meal time is the best way to update each and everyone for their day to day. Even by simply watching movie together, doing chores and  cooking together make wonderful memories.

When I was growing up my family did not do anything together for quality time. We were always told to go outside and play or find something to do. This was rather disappointing as a child to always be told to leave the house so your mom could sit in her chair and drink coffee and just watch the TV. After having a child of my own I decided that we needed to do things together. On the weekend we would grab our roller skates and head off to the park for the day and skate all over the park. There was one place in the park that a guy would show up there in his car and play music. It was a lot of fun. Each night we ate dinner together we would put on classical music and just talk. We talked about our day and my daughter talked about school and the things she did. I tried to spend as much quality time with my daughter when she was growing up but at times it was hard because I was a single mom and he dad had left when she was a baby. This made it hard to balance my work, school, and home life. I did the best I could and tried to spend as much time as possible with my daughter doing things she loved and having a lot of great memories to keep with me as she grew up.

Family is a great institution in which everyone feels safe and secure. We usually have quality time together in the house we do play games, outside we do play soccer, go shopping and also visit our relatives.

Normally we just chase my daughter around the house. We live with my parents at the moment, and my parents are fully enjoying the part of Grand parents. We love to walk her outside and explore new things, such as the birds she heard and the turtle laying underneath the bushes. She loves to pick up a tiny branch and hold it the whole time we are outside.

That is a very good question. What my family does to spend quality time together is family game night, puzzles, trips, dinner, movies, and more. It is so important to make sure that you and your family have a great relationship. I understand that in some families their are certain relationships that are just toxic and hard to handle but finding a common ground where all of the family members are having fun and just enjoying all of their time together is one of the best feelings and experiences. I wish the best of luck have a lovely week:)

Family quality time is when members gather to share experiences. For my family, because mostly every member is a working class, it is difficult to converge because of differences in work closing times and tiredness after work, so  we have a short morning devotion daily, and it is very refreshing, it gives us the opportunity to mirror ourselves with the biblical teachings before we step out for work. During the weekend I go to my sisters and ask them how their week was, we later go for shopping or a drink together where we still continue in discussion because interaction builds bonds.

Going to church every Sabbath Day is what my family do to spend quality time. A time for the Lord at least once a week is very important in our family. I can say that with God's guidance we remained intact as a family. Nothing beats a family who makes God as the center of everything they do. We should return the favor to God by simply being with Him as a way of spending quality time with Him even in the times that we have nothing to pray for.

We often eat together. Sit and eat together. That makes us understand each other. Conduct some funny activities and games between family members. That's really good and I do enjoy it. Monthly we go for 2 or 3 days Vacation.

I have two kids. It's not an easy task to find an activity that all members of the family will enjoy. This time it's even more complicated as we all stay at home due to quarantine. So we decided to learn more about our family history. We downloaded a family tree template and started our family history research. It occurred very fascinating.

In my family, we always talk to each other and watch some movies together. I am going to be positive with this COVID-19 because of this activity with the family. Another good thing is we spent time cooking something, which is affordable.

Quality time is important where family members feel free to have an open conversation, creating a stronger bond between family members, and providing memories an opportunity to make memories built on fun. Eat together, play games, and have family outings that are normally we enjoy our family quality time.

To have quality time in a family the house chores must not be pressing or heavy on them and if the whole family want to do something or go to a place let them look for a particular day that is not so stressful like on Sunday every family as far as I know love doing things that are special on Sunday.

Quality time for me is sharing your daily happenings in a car driving for example to supermarket or home and at the dinner table. Playing different games, puzzles. Cooking together with your children. Watching TV together can also be quality time if you discuss different topics. Just giving a hug to your children :)

My family does not have quality time very often. We are all very busy and do not have the time to enjoy life to the fullest. We like to spend our time with our loved ones, friends, and loved ones.
