Think about your daily job, daily responsibilities, time spent at meetings, driving your kids to this activity and that sporting event, meal planning and preparation, house cleaning, on and on with our grossly busy lives, and what time is left for our family? Do you really think that 9-5 JOB is the answer to all of our hopes and dreams? Do you really think it was our personal goal to spend the majority of our lives at work? When was the last time you saw your son/daughter play in that school volleyball game or run in their cross country meet? Isn’t it time to put your family first?
Of course in our minds we do put our family first, but how ridiculous does that sound. Sure it may mean a lot to your spouse/son/daughter to get a call during the day just to let them know you were thinking about them, but is that good enough? Yeah, I’m thinking about you, but I don’t know if I’ll see you tonight before you go to bed…To me that is very aggravating, yet the majority of working professionals are in that exact situation. Besides needing to ditch the 9-5 rat race, we need to look at one very important time of the day that may be the difference between bringing your family a little closer or losing that son/daughter to a host of “friends” that have an entirely different agenda in mind. Let’s take a look at mealtime.
Statistics show that children that do not eat dinner with their families are 60% more likely to use alcohol, drugs, or tobacco. On the flipside, children that do eat dinner with their families every night of the week are 20% less likely to drink, smoke or use illegal drugs. Dinner together is a chance for parents and children to talk with one another. But what should we talk about? Seems like ridiculous question, but certain topics may help your kids open up to you more and share challenging times with you. Have everyone share a positive moment during the day or the biggest challenge they had to overcome. Share some of your own childhood memories that may relate to their challenges or triumphs. Help keep the family thinking about being together by discussing an activity you can all do together. This will give everyone something to look forward to. If nothing else, dinner time is an opportunity to open the doors of communication.
But what can you do in the long run to change the road you are headed down with the majority of the working world? How about moving outside your comfort zone for a change and really challenge yourself in the “non-traditional” business world. There really is a life to live outside the 9-5 world. You just have to have the confidence and self belief to get it done. The internet can surely provide the “life” you would like to have and give you the chance to reinvent your family.
