The Average Family Only Spends 34 Minutes a Day Together

I know I'm always on the go. Between keeping busy with both of my children, their sports, music lessons, homework, housework, working full time and helping out with the community. It can be exhausting!

But I'm always trying to plan fun things to do with the kids so we have family time together and they have lots of wonderful childhood memories.

So when I was reading an article about how much time the average family actually spends together, it made me stop and think. We do pretty good in my family, but there is always room for improvement.

I find it easier in the summer because we like to go to amusement parks, hiking, swimming, mini golf, etc. However, in the winter it tends to be harder and we end up watching TV or going to the movies.

How do you measure up to these stats?

According to a new survey, the uncovered some pretty sad stats about your quality family time. Here are five of them:

1. The average family only spends 34 minutes together on weekdays.
2. You only spend 97 minutes together on weekends.
3. 80% of parents feel like they don't spend enough time with their kids.
4. The average family only eats four meals a week together.
5. And when you are together, 60% of parents say you're watching TV or all on phones.
