Many times we are very busy parents doing our own thing, and our children sometimes seek our attention.
"What is it?" We asked irritably.... example.
I think we all been at this stage a few times, forgetting our place in the family. seems to happen more when something goes wrong, the job, bills, working on the house, stress or anything that keeps you busy.

God wants me to ask you, so that you are aware.

That's something you need to take up with God. We all have our stresses and strains; some have more than others. The best thing to do is have a "family night" one day out of the week where you spend time with the fam' and watch DVDs or play board games.

Stop it with guilt tripping other ppl; it's legalism.
Will of God: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.
Go ye(do err) and learn what God's will meaneth:
Ps 40:6; 51:16; Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13; 12:7; Heb 10
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

there is a time for everything, and when other things come between family time the trouble pops up. I do the best I can to have family time, it is hard and it gets stressful at times but I have to do it or my house will fall apart and I am not ready for that..

God said"be fruitful and multiply", so being a hard-working parent is.Pray to God that He will give you a peace of mind,and to help you make time for your family.The simple fact that you have acknowledge this,says alot.Remember,God knows your heart.

My wife and I married to have and raise a family. She stayed home and I went to work. The children had their mother all day and me as well when I came in from work. The principle task, however, was raising well adjusted children. We planned it and it worked. Why did you get married?

It's definately not God's will for one of his servants to neglect family. That's scriptural too.
"If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." 1 Timothy 5:8
Even though this passage is referring to monetary/physical needs...Same concept applies.
God Bless.

It is the duty of the parents to bring up their children, and nurture and admonish them to the knowledge God.
A father's ministry is his family, in case the father is not around the mother should do it...
