Formal dinner time with my husband is my time with him. Not my kids’ time with him. Not time for family togetherness.
In our house, we have two kinds of dinner. Informal dinners mean the kids eat at their table, a small, kindergarten-sized thing in the middle of the living room, and my husband and I eat on the couch. For formal dinners, my husband and I, plus any adult guests, eat at the kitchen table. My kids and their friends? They still eat at the kids’ table. Yep, no matter what, my kids are at the kids’ table.
but he reads on a 9th grade level. I’ve heard my 7-year-old use the word “plethora” in a sentence — correctly — and my 5 year-old can not only explain the idea of infinity, he’s actually learning toHe read the word “coop” at the zoo last week. So you’ll excuse me for not showing much concern about my kids’ vocabulary development.. I know this might sound radical to some people, but we talk to our kids regularly about pretty much everything.
Not that the kids are never at the kitchen table. We do science experiments there. They eat breakfast there. They often have lunch there, and I sometimes eat with them. We play board games there. But more importantly,. We ride bikes. We go hiking. My husband takes the kids fishing. Hell, I sometimes play Bubble Bobble with them . We don’t need some magical nexus of family life. We are each others’.
