Ways to bond with family

Sometimes my 7 year old and I bake, sift through her room, and others we just go out and enjoy life. In regards to my husband, we'll talk about what we want to do with the house, cook together, and sometimes play a game. We do travel together and talk about what we'd like to do in the future; travel to different locations, try new family things, and sometimes the memories that we have as kids. :-)

True indeed. Simple gestures like that are one of the best ways to bond with our family and loved ones. Me and my hubby can talk anything out of the blue. We can talk, sit and laugh anything that goes. It's okey for us to just stay at the house for the whole weekend as long as we are together. We usually buy DVDs and watched together at home instead of paying much in the movie house. Now that we have a baby who is turning 11 months next week, one of our best moment is playing with our son together. We love to take videos of him then watch together and played it over and over again. sometimes, in the midst of our busy day we get to text each other just a simple hi-hello or i love u, just to enlighten and keep our day going. A text doesn't cost much to keep the bond and communication going. ;-) Keeping the bond to every relationship is very important to make the relationship last and better.

I have never bonded with my family, we are a very disperse family actually. We have very little confidence on one another, plus we have gone out in vacation only once or twice ever. C'mon, it's not that expensive, I don't understand why my parents (specially my father) never took us out for a weekend, I will never forget that, and hope to never repeat it with my children. It's an important aspects for families to stay together, and I think it was so mean from my father never wanting to spend a bit of money on a holidays.

We are a very close family. We always bond with each other, we always talk and laugh about things. Once a year, we go to the studio and have our family picture taken. We also go out of time, all of us, every summer. We always look forward to it.

The best way to bond with family members is to take an interest in one of their passions. My father loves to drag race. For years he has spent every Saturday at that track. Just recently I began working in the tower running the software for the races. I can't quite explain it, but we bonded :)

Very true. I make a point that every day there is one meal together with wife and 2 children. In fact i was more obsessed with work than family. Since 3 years i am doing this and my family feels it great. Separately I find the children always on to something and each time they have some questions for which they expect a response or look into us to care for them often. Overtime i found this a nuisance. However i came over it since the same 3 yrs, taking time and care to repsond, no matter how silly the questions were or how important my other work is

There are so many enriching ways for families to bond together. Just spending that quality time together is a positive step in the right direction to keeping those family ties strong. find activities and events to do together can only help you grow as an individual and strengthen your bond as a family.

As a housewife it is not problem to me. because i have plenty of time for communication and relationships. But my hubby has problem as he is always out for his work. Nowadays my small son misses his father very much. anyhow my hubby manages to have bonding with the family.

Hi whegcat! So true my friend as life is really short and the years go on by so fast that the bonding and quality times make for everlasting memories. Being that I worked a great deal and being a single parent, I did concentrate on a great deal of quality time together with the kids. We had a movie night each week at home with a few snacks which the kids loved and looked forward to. We shared a great many times together that although mine are grown they still recall our wonderful times together.

As a mother, I always make it a point to bond with my kids and my busy hubby. Yeah, I definitely agree that it doesn't need to be scheduled. I always join my kids during breakfast and chat with them and I have fun listening their stories from school that happen a day or two. Yes simple ways of showing care and love to your family will always be cherish as time goes by.

Yes frined spending time with our family is necessary I have seen most of the divorce cases in between husband and wife due to this reason. Husband has not time for wife and they spend most of time out of house etc.. Child goes in wrong way if parents not care of them.. daughter will run away because she feel my parents are not loved me so if someone is loved me then I should go with him etc.. we bonding with our family members and it is necessary part of life..

Yes,no matter how busy we are,we should find some time to get together with our family,even a small talk would enhance our relationships. I love this kind of family union when i have holidays,i would definitely stay with them.

I stay in a joint family so family bonding plays an important role in my life. Comming to the point. I know a simple & effective way to bond with the family. Watch a cimady movie together atleast once a week on Sundays. Belive me it is the best time to bond with each other b'coz, if you laugh together than it creats a better understanding in each other. I have learned this through my own experiance. I can try it. [em]laugh[em]
