Family life tends to shoot out in all directions. Everyone scrambles to get ready in the morning and then jets off to work or school or camp or errands. Even when you come home, you’re checking your email while driving one kid to practice, another kid is absorbed in a game or out riding a bike, and your wife is trying to finish her own work or chores while making sure the baby doesn’t throw all your silverware in the trashcan. Most nights you’re lucky to get in a few words as you’re passing by.
