More talking than eating is fine XD we're all running on vastly different schedules now so we're all eating separately more often than not. On this particular night J, eldest and I had dinner together (youngest was in the house but chose to eat in his room) and middle had arrived home at some point after that and was having her dinner at the table (I'm pretending it's so she could talk to/hang out with me but it's probably just because like me, she doesn't like eating in her bedroom).
I have not seen it yet, I kind of watch things under some duress now and even then it's 100% dependent on how much art I feel like I've gotten to do (I will always pick art over watching stuff). I only saw the bits over middle's shoulder when she askeds me to have a quick look and was doing plot and character analysis with me.
The goat now goes on the bottom of my posts, I tried to make a slightly smaller sig for comments. Where have you been? :)
You painted that picture so vividly, I actually saw everyone so clearly in my head 🤣 It actually sounds like a normal dinner time considering how old everyone is.
I think Ill resist telling everyone to shut it and eat before dinner gets cold, and just enjoy the moment for what it is - precious and fleeting.
Im gonna head over and see what you've been up to. I'm still relearning everything and havent made the rounds yet 😅 I miss seeing the goat
I've been busy with the baby! Though she's 5 now .. (I can just see your face... 🤣) so she's technically not a baby anymore... anyhoo, now that she's older and we're homeschooling, and the end of the Splinterlands liquidity pool, Im now back blog side of the chain.
Please enjoy the moment and chat more XD the kids and I used to like the dinnertime conversation (though it was usually extremely difficult to get the boys to shut up so that anyone else could have a turn to speak) but J was extremely against anything other than gobbling down dinner as fast as possible (generational bad habit, apparently his mum used to steal food off their plates when they were kids, it was basically a case of "are you going to eat that" but then she'd grab it before they answered, and apparently never realising she was doing it, and in her case it was growing up dirt poor in a family of 8 or 10 or something like that with not enough food so all the kids were frantically gobbling down their food to avoid it getting stolen and stealing as much food as they were able off neighbouring plates, she said a lot of her childhood memories is just being always hungry).
He's gotten better but while growing up the kids got worse following that early example and then worse again when they were teenagers and not allowed to eat in their rooms so they would just want to scarf down as fast as possible without choking so they could rush back to their games.
when they started cleaning up after themselves regularly they were allowed to eat in their rooms if they want which the boys do but middle doesn't
Now that they're adults and much more mature the big two now want to eat with everyone else (even if it's just hanging out in the same room as me and/or J at the dining table) more often than not.
5 is still a baby! XD
I was only slightly off, I thought she might be 3-4 now
Gonna hit the homeschooling community on here? :D
Awww I get that.. My Grandfather was a POW and he had the same mentality. Get it down before its gone. He tried to pass it on but eh... didn't stick 🤣
Conversation is fine until its been an hour in and food still hasn't been touched 🫠
Yep! Hoping to get some inspiration! Currently drafting a post about homeschooling in Aus.. had to break it up in parts 😅
