Philos, I don’t think we can force anyone to do anything, at least not in the positive sense. However, you can sit down with your loved one and gently ask them for what you want. You can tell them how much you and the kids would enjoy having them around. You can entice them away from the computer with fun and enjoyable family activities designed toward their interests. You’ve really got to also seek to understand why your loved one spends time doing other things. What is it that draws or pushes them away? Don’t assume the worst about them, give them the benefit of the doubt and try to put yourself in their shoes. If you do these things, you’ll likely be able to make great strides toward what you most desire. Thanks!

I liked the points in the article Jeff. I have one question though: How can a partner compel he other half to spend more time with the kids, say something like even a straight one month without travelling or getting chained to a computer?

I also think that it is a good thing to treat others the way we want to be treated. That thought always helps us fight narcissism over time and then we come to the point where we are able to confidently give more than 50% of the things we treasure most. Talk about our time, our money, our love, forgiveness and more.

Happy blogging and keep on spending more time with the young ones.

@Ron – I agree. The best things in life are still free!

@Frugal Dad – It is amazing what spending time with my children does for my energy as well.

Thanks for the comments!

Fantastic post! I spent the weekend with my son, just the two of us. We didn’t even leave the house the entire weekend – made meals from home, played together in our backyard, and even dragged out some paint and painted a masterpiece or two. I felt more energized and recharged Monday morning than I have in weeks!

Isn’t it odd that none of these costs money? Yet people tend to use shopping and things to fill the void in their lives.
