Sole parent Mike Adams and his sons Jamie and Jordon show their support for The Couch at Wellington's Oriental Bay. Over 3,000 people have now joined up.
In May and June 2008 we asked about your caring roles and responsibilities, how these fit into your life and what further support may be of help.
How often does your family sit down and have a meal together? Who makes the meal and what do you talk about at dinnertime? And how do you approach that age-old issue of encouraging your children to eat their vegetables?
We're working on our next questionnaire. We'll email Couch members when it's available.
