Sit down family dinners are a thing of the past

It is a shame that most families are not sitting down at the dinner table together these days. You hear on the news that it is a thing of the past that should not be excluded in our lives. And I have to agree, we don’t eat all together these days very often, heck the dinner table is never empty enough of clutter and junk and we have become lazy in not wanting to move it all and find the appropriate place for it all.

I may have to make it a family effort to get that table cleared off and see what we can do about having more family sit down to the table type dinners more often. It is a good place and time to re connect with everybody and I miss it.

Wife sends emails, instead of dinner talk

My wife’s best friend, who lives in N.C., with her new husband and her 4 sons, is always busy doing something with all of the grandchildren that her sons has provided her with, she loves babies and kids, so she is in heaven with all of the family living within a one hour radius of one another. Her house is always full of kids, she used to be a day care provider for the longest time. Her folks and his live close by also.

Anyway she finally took the time to email the wife with the latest good news that her one son’s wife has landed a job at Atlantic Business Technologies, Inc., which is a huge charlotte nc web design company that is doing very well as a full service web development company and she is lucky to land a position with them. This is the field that she has gone to school to study while raising the kids and has really worked so hard in the past several years in getting her foot in the door with a good company.

The wife and I used to talk about things like this during dinner or whatever, funny how instead of talking about these things that we now send it to each other in an email, as she did with this one, she forwarded to me to read, from her best friend. Are we getting lazy or what is the deal?
