Re: Kids Stuff
Hank - It seems that families do not sit down together at the table for their meals very much now-a-days. As our children were growing up we would always sit together at the table. When they had friends come over, we would include them at the table, and some didn't know what to do as they had never sat together for a meal.
Many children now have their own T.V. in their bedrooms.
Sadly, it seems that the family unit is getting pushed out of the picture. People are too busy with working or being involved in sports or other activities.
I remember that there were times when we would take the T.V. away from the lounge so that we could have time together with the kids and play different games with them.
Our Sunday lunches are always together at the dining room table, often with different people from the church that we have invited in at the last moment. Many, many people have dined with us over the years, and continue to do so, and we have pleasant memories of table laughter, talking over each other,discussion, noise, heaps of dishes to wash, endless cups of tea, and often a game around the table to finish off.
