I want family value parenting and not the next soccer practice, the next new gadget, or the next meeting. The constant go seems to have corrupted the true value and core of what once was, and its unjust. When it takes recession for families to "have" to sit down for a meal together, because they can't afford another way, something is seriously wrong with the way people think. You have a family, so you can be with them, not so you can shove them all off in different directions, an be away from them.
On the different end of the board, you have the extreme parents who overbear, and overcompensate. To the financial extreme. Gassing up the SUV to drive across the county for soccer, baseball, baton, or whatever other event their child may have this week or weekend. Whatever happened to spending time as a family unit, in the backyard, or at the local park, even? Do we even know our neighbors? Do our kids play outside or are they too busy being scurried to the next event.
I know my own child can't meet the neighborhood kids because most don't get home until after 8pm activities, and the one that does play when she is around, the tennis involved one, is consistently hitting a ball against the garage.....CONSISTENTLY!!!!
What happened to free time?
