I’m so full from a good family dinner. It was just my older brother, his family and I, but it’s always a highlight to my week. I think that people have let family values slip. There are so many kids that eat dinner in the living room with the TV on or in there room by themselves. There is no conversation and no real family interaction.
Growing up we had a sit down family dinner every night. If you missed dinner because of soccer or work you could guarantee there would be a plate for you in the fridge when you came home, and someone would be sitting at the table with you while you ate. My family was very involved in my life and by showing some interest in me they kept me from being the emo kid with no friends that writes poems about death and listens to goth.
It is so nice to see my brothers and other family members keep up with our family values. They have sit down dinners with their families every night where they just simply talk and enjoy each other’s company. Just a simple 30 minutes a night could change your life and your family’s life. Some interaction, involvement and interest are what families are lacking. So stop worrying about how much money you can make because if you aren’t spending time with your family you are missing the really important things in life.
I totally agree with this blog, my family has a Sunday dinner every week, sometimes not everyone shows up, but a great way to keep the family close, catch up on whats new, and be there for each other. Great Blog
