Providing and Maximising Quality Time with the Family

August 3, 2019 / by Violet & Anna / Leave a Comment

Do you find it challenging to spend time with your kids and loved ones? Are you always working long hours? As a parent, you need to find effective ways to bond with your children and spouse. Yes, work is essential so you can pay your bills, eat three full meals a day and send your kids to school.

However, making your work a priority over your family is something that needs to be addressed. It would be best if you found a work-life balance routine so you can spend valuable time with your family. Take this opportunity to look for big houses to rent where you can take your family for a weekend staycation. Here are some practical tips to get you started.

Set aside your household chores

Instead of focusing on your kids during weekends, many parents use this opportunity to clean the house, do the laundry and even wash their cars. While all of these things are important, they also take much time away from your children. You can set aside some of your chores and do them when the children are asleep. Spend more time with them by eating breakfast as a family or hanging out and playing games in the family room. If you are having challenges planning your schedule, then creating a quick checklist can help you organise your day.

Ask for help from relatives and other people

If you have available resources around you, then don’t be shy and ask for help. You can hire a part-time housekeeper to do chores and prepare food during weekends. You can also get your laundry done and have it delivered once finished. If a relative or friend offers to help, then accept it by all means. Use this opportunity to be with your family, even for just one or two days. Later on, you can return the favour by cooking a sumptuous dinner.

Encourage each family member to help do simple tasks

If hiring a baby sitter or house help is not an option, then you need to tell your family to help out at home. Teach them to clean, wash the dishes and do other chores. Besides taking some load off your shoulders, this is an excellent character-building exercise for the kids. As an added incentive, you get to spend quality time with your family during and after the activity.

Be productive at work

When you are at the office, you should do your best to finish all of your tasks and reports on time. You should avoid downtime like chatting with your office colleagues, going out on frequent breaks and doing non-work-related things like browsing through social media and playing games. These things are considered a waste of time, and you will end up staying late and working during weekends, taking more time away from your family.

Lastly, avoid answering emails or conducting meetings at home because this can cause a significant distraction to your family time.
