We tend to do our own thing, but sometimes we still play together--games like darts, or we play on the Playstation and yesterday we cleaned the kitchen together. I keep the computer in the living room, so even if someone is online, everyone else is around so the online person isn't isolated. We do pretty well.

My kids are grown, but my daughter and I try to go to dinner every week, and if it is nice out and she has a free weekend I will take her for a bike ride up the coast.

I don't have any kids, but my husband and I spend most of our extra time fishing. We will go with his dad a lot, it is so fun to reel in a big catfish!

I don't have ay kids, but my brothers and their families like to have a lot of cookouts.

My daughter is still so young that EVERYTHING we do, we do together. Even going to the bathroom......the word privacy has lost it's meaning.

We cook together (she loves shaking spices into food for me), we eat together, we dress together, play outside, inside, at other's houses together. We sleep in the same room as there is no room in this multiple family house that we live in. We go to church together.

Ah, it'll all change as she grows up, I know.

My daughter is still very young, so we are always together, but when she gets older I know it will be a problem. I hope to eat dinner together every night and go out together as a family once a week. I say that now, but we'll see what actually happens!

This is very true-we never know how things will change as our children grow. I too hope that my daughter and I remain close, but I fully accept the fact that it might not be the case. Well, not accept, but realise!

My daughter is preschool age, and we have a lot of fun together. This afternoon I bought her a tent for the back garden and we spent the afternoon out there, in and out, playing with the kitty, lying on the sleeping bag that came with it, and occasionally trying to play t-ball. I try and spend a lot of time outside with her, because she absolutely thrives on outdoors time.

We need to spend more time outside and we have a big yard. Time to get the barbecue dug out of storage and working again.
