When families grow old
March 6th 2008 12:22
For some reason, I've noticed that when families "grow old" meaning the children grow older, usually they start working and go out a lot with colleagues or friends, there are less and less family activities.
I know this because I remember when we were still young, before the 2 older kids among us went to college, we'd shop for groceries together, go to church together, have meals together and even watch a lot of movies whether at home or in the movie house -- together.
now that I'm married and have a son, my sister's working and the other one's in college while the youngest is going to college soon we rarely do these things together. At the most, we'd eat one meal together at least once a week. but that's a long way form having dinner together every day before.
Recently, I bought a Wii, yes that cool gaming console from the geniuses from Nintendo. My sisters have been waiting for me to buy this since I announced that I am going to buy one whatever happens about 6 months ago.
I bought this about 3 days ago, I've never seen my youngest sister up until midnight AND she's never been deliberately absent in school (goody two shoes
). When she started playing 3 days ago, she didn't stop and decided she'd skip school since they're only practicing for graduation anyway.
I love seeing all 3 of them playing and having fun. I know that this cost me quite a lot, I could have bought a lot more games with the amount I bought this for here, but the fun and the bonding we get to have because of this is priceless.
makes me ecstatic just knowing tomorrow when everyone gets home from work or school, we'd be having a blast again.
