I think everyone in the world, has the same problem, has I do. And you what is that? Getting your Family to eat at least one good meal a day. Well you see I come up with a great idea, that has not failed me yet. And I have been doing this now for a full month. I suggest to give it a go for your family ,if you which, because it stop alot of agruments in the house hold. Here is what you need. One family day out, a pinic,one calendar. And a piece of mine for yourself. LOL. Sit the family down,when you have prepare the pinic, and start by saying. I have a idea for all of you my lovely family of mine! The family will soon look up,and look at you with a shock look on the faces. And you know you have the attention. You put the calendar on the table. And start by saying to the older one which is your hubby(boyfriend). And say to him, pick a day, when he does. Ask him what his favorite food. When he teels you, mark it down. And let him know that is his night he gets to choice for the meal tonight. then you write your's night down. And by the time you fill in your turn, the kids would be telling there night. You can see they are all excited about the whole idea.But you have to lay down ground rules. They have to help you cook and clean on there night. That way you get every one to help out. Even if you get the rest of the family to do the washing up and cleaning the kitchen, but you do not cook on the weekends, unleast you have to. I do my night, and the rest of the family cook for me. and believe me it is the best thing I even done. It is least stress for me and the kids and hubby are happy. Because they get to be in charge of something, instead of you being stress. I suggest to give it a go MUM'S and Dad's, or even if there is no kids. Still give it a go. And your man to cook, he could even surprise you with a night out, on his night. Mine did last week. I have even seen the change in my teenaged daughter Samantha. She said to my on her night, mum this was sure good idea. It made me feel so good, because I have been having problems with her, sitting down with the family at night to eat a meal. Now she does it every night. My three year boy Micheal even loves it on his night.
So give it a go if you are having problems within your family. Because for some odd reason this has work for me, I have gotten closer to my family. It even has me more involve, with my boyfriends work. Which I he never's talks much at work, because he does like to bring it home. And the kids talk about what they did at school, a boy you do learn something new everyday. Happy family to everyone.
