Recently, Prince Andrew was reported as saying “I believe fundamentally that the family is the most important thing in life”. And this belief probably holds true for most people, but like the diet we have every intention on going on, or the cigarettes we have every intention on giving up, we just don’t get around to it, often until it’s too late. It’s the same with family and children. Do we grab the moment now, savour our time with our children, or wait until they’ve grown up and are caught up in their own lives? I know this is easier said than done, but often, however tight we are for time, most people are willing and able to make time for things that matter to them. There are people who have passions in life, be it water sports or model trains, who will make time whatever to pursue those passions.
