  • What makes a happy family? How do you know if you're doing a good job as a parent? Inspired by Zach Braff's latest movie, "Wish I Was Here" we decided to bring in real parents, with their children, to set up an experiment and find out more.

      The bit that got me was when the kids said they worry about their parent. I am a single mother to a 2 year old boy, the thought that one day he'd worry for me is kinda heartbreaking! Kids shouldn't need to worry about adult things or whether their patents are happy! But at the same time, it showed just how much love they had for their patents which is a lovely thing!

    The dad in the band hit the nail on the head. My mom always place such a huge focus on going on a vacation, but what she didn't know was that all I wanted was designated one-on-one time doing something as simple as making pasta with sauce for dinner and watching my favorite movie(plus singing all the songs) would have meant the world to me.

    I think I've always had a lot of quality time with my dad even though he works a lot whereas on the contrary my mom always says that she raised my brother and I almost on her own but it doesn't feel like we ever had quality time. She cared for our basic needs but we never really bonded over anything.
