On weekends, that time increases to 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Researchers looked at 2,000 parents with school-aged children. 60 percent of the parents blame long work hours, school schedules and weekend chores for the lack of time together.
Vacations are also taking a hit; the average family says it only gets seven days a year to get away together.
5. Break some break for National French Bread Day!
The long thin loaf is made from basic lean dough and is also known as a baguette, which literally translates to "a stick."
French bread originated from a 1920 labor law where bakers were prevented from beginning their work day before 4 a.m., which meant they needed to make bread more quickly. The bread was then shaped into long, narrow loaves to make it bake quickly and evenly.
Today, people enjoy everything from French bread pizzas to French toast casserole.
