"THE DINNER"

When I lived in my parent's house, every night I heard, "Hey everybody dinner is ready!" and everybody ran to the table because my mom's cooking was delicious.
But now I am convinced that those days don't happen anymore. Now everyone focuses on their own activities.
Nowadays things have changed and everyone has a lot of things to do and it's impossible to be with family during these times.
Now I know the happiness that my mom used to feel when we all used to eat together.
Us as parents we should try to keep the family together and try not to lose our values.

I try to make sure my family sits down to dinner at least 4 nights of the week. It's a special time for us to talk about our day and be together. They've actually shown in research that families who have dinner together more often are stronger and the kids are also less likely to do drugs and get involved in other activities that we, as parents, don't want them to do.

There are many other ways to from strong bonds within a family, that's for sure, but having dinner together is one of the best. I hope you can find the time to make it happen. It might be different from what you remember as a child, but you will still be making great memories for your own children.

being together when you have a family is very important but even though lives can get very busy dinner time should always be that part of the day where everyone can be together i have two kids and i make it a point to at least eat together every night even if they do not like it if they do not want to it can be possible you just have to make it happen I wish it will get better for you
