Long working hours (56%), the kids' homework (29%), and household chores (27%) are the top things that stand in the way of families spending quality time together, a survey has found.
Over a third of families (37%) struggle to find the time to spend in each other's company – with just six hours a week spent all together as a family unit.
Other reasons for this include work deadlines and the kids' social lives – with one in five, of the 2,000 mums and dad polled, blaming social media for getting in the way of family time.
