Making Time for Family Tiffany Burb
					Families are now houses of busy people, with the parents working full time and children in school all day-most families are too tired to eat in the evening, especially after studying and preparing for promotions.  Well, there are two simple methods-one for families with no time to take off work, whether from struggling with bills or frantically studying for a promotion and those who are able to take a day off.  If you have no time, make the most of activities that everyone must do, eat together for dinner and breakfast if possible, watch your favorite TV programs together or even play chess, dolls or other games together.  Also, you might want to rethink your priorities-it is not necessary to reach the top of your career, if you’re making a nice sum of money and have decent hours, stay there and work for bonuses.  If you have time, take the family to Old Town and spend the day at a park, barbequing, sitting around the campfire or shopping.  This quality time can be well invested and keep your family well connected.  If you have the money, go on a vacation-it’s the ultimate relaxation and connecting technique-no cooking, no cleaning, just eat-play-sleep 24/7.  The families in Greymount recommend the following schedule: work-work-study/friend building-work-work-off-work, therefore you work five days, yet have two days off, one for studying, preparing for promotions or connecting with friends, the other for family relations and unity.
