How much interaction with son/daughter?

Question

Is 30 minute a day sufficient for interaction with son and daughter aged 15-18?. I work so i dont have time except and maybe twice a week i bring them to go shopping. they always fight and never stop. they get interaction from studying with tutor. It the summer time

Answer 1

You should be spending one on one time with them not with both of them together.  Find out what interests them and do something with them based on that.  At that age they don't want to be stuck hanging out together all the time.

Answer 2

Interaction?  How about time with your children?

30 minutes?  

How many hours do you work?  80/wk?  

You need to take some time out for your children, they need your guidance.  

And you need to take some time out for yourself and your family.  

Life isn't all work.

Right now you are an absentee parent.

Answer 3

No, not even close. They need parental guidance more than ever as teens. 3 and a half hours PER WEEK!! (also equals)

14 hours a month!! Good lord, that isn't even called being a parent. Thats less time than I spend showering/getting dressed!

Answer 4

i would say not sufficient..but then i dont know you personal /family situation or dynamic
