What do you feel is important to do as a family?
Spend important birthdays together. So like 21st and things. To be honest, I've been brought up to do everything as a family so like Christmas, Eurovision :'), birthdays, all things like that.
I think having meals as a family is a fairly important thing; for me it's pretty much the only time I actually see and converse with my mum and stepdad for more than 5 minutes and without it I'd basically be a hermit with no proper ties to the household. I know a lot of people don't sit down for a meal with the family and just eat separately and I think that that basically cements the idea that you aren't a unit which is really sad
Spending time together,
I honestly think sitting down with your family once a week makes a difference, even though it's only once a week. I used to do this but we don't really anymore.
I always make an effort to see grandparents so I just go to see them or we have them over for roast dinner whenever I am home.
Birthdays, special occasions and discussing big changes that will impact everyone (like moving houses etc).
meals together although my father will act like a total ***** and pretends hes the food police and totally spoil my mood
I think sitting down with the family for dinner at least once a week is important. Organising a day out with the family is also important and I try to do this at least once a month. Special occasions such as birthdays and holidays like Christmas, Easter and the Summer holidays always brings our family together.
being able to talk to them (especially with immediate family) and be able to time with them.
