Most families do not make enough time to spend together due to a crazy life
that is constantly getting in the way. Between sports, work, school, activities
and spending time with friends, it’s no wonder that families don’t make time
for one another. Instead, they unfortunately get overly tired and run down. In
fact, recently Disney Survey released this information after interviewing
around 1,000 parents with children from ages 5-17: “Out of 52 weeks a year, on
average, parents surveyed admit that they have only 15 ‘free’ weekends — i.e.
‘no plans.’ Further, 13 percent say they have no free weekends.” Not only does
this shocking information reveal that families are not spending enough time
together, but something needs to be done about it.
Since this information is rather discouraging, it’s time for families to do
something about it! Instead of getting discouraged, a fantastic way to bond
with your family members when life gets insanely busy is to get away and enjoy
quality time together. Everyone can use some time to enjoy one another’s
company and planning a simple yet fulfilling family vacation is the way to do
it.
Don’t Let Expenses
Halt Your Travel Plans
If you’re concerned
about expenses, especially if you have a larger family, you may be pleasantly
surprised to find out that a vacation does not have to cost a lot of money. You
can easily go on a weekend road trip and stay at a nearby town that you’ve been
meaning to visit. That way you won’t have to worry about purchasing plane
tickets, renting a car or any other extra expenses that can pile up. A weekend
trip is perfect because it’s only a few days but it still is just enough time
for a family to catch up, bond and learn new things about each other.
Clear up Your Schedule
and Make it Happen
A parent’s schedule
can be just a busy as their child’s school schedule, so it is up to them to
make a family vacation take place. Work may be demanding, but children require
extra attention and it’s important to give them plenty of love and time before
the time you have to spend with them vanishes before your very eyes. With only
around 17 summers to enjoy your child at home, it’s essential that you make
taking vacations important. You will create precious memories and will also make
it known to your child or children that they are special to you.
