Where has family time gone? Why do we go out and purchase a dining room table if we don't sit down and socialize at it anymore. Do we just purchase one because it a common thing to do? How many families actually sit down and eat at there table and sit and conversate this was the purpose of the dining table. I think that we have become so distant from each other that we see each other as we pass in the halls of our house. We spends so many time in front of the TV or we are on our cell phones and if we do communicate it's a very vague conversation. We need to come back to the simple things of life when we cared how each other day was and how you feeling. Because everyone is so wrapped up in there little own world do we even make memories anymore. Memories are what keeps the pleasures of families alive.
We need to spend time with our kids, because they grow so fast and before you no it they will be having families of there own. When was the last time you had a family night were everyone just sat down around the TV and agreed on a movie to watch not a reality show and pop some popcorn and just laugh and cried.
TV has also taking the place of us raising our kids, where we just put them there in order for them to be out of our way. We are so busy doing the things that we do we forget that the little people need to have bonding time with us.
The dining room was a place for families to come together and unwind know it's a place where we all just eat and run. It's like a drive thru you pick up and go. We need to get back to the Simple Things In Life where you sat and just unwind without being on the cellphones and checking your Facebook page and Instagram and Twitter. Life is so Simple and we take it for granted.
I agree, in a blink of a eye your kids grow up right before you....we need to go back to the basics.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you posted this because I was just saying this same thing over the weekend. That me and my son (and now what is my ex) used to sit at the dinner table every night and have dinner. When we moved to the current apt, the dining room was too small so we got rid of it. Needless to say there went the communication! So I have made a decision that in my new apt, I will be purchasing a new dining room table and me and my son WILL be eating at every night that we can.
