Why? Why? Why? and Why? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Yes, I am not a parent. Yes, I am still going to rant. Dinner time is the time of day where family gets to spend time together and reflect about the day.
I remember playing Tic-Tac-Toe with my grandmother with crayons on little scraps of paper as well chopsticks (the game) with my sister (I always won). So why do kids need tablets just to get through a half hour dinner now? Netflix, games, and ignoring everybody else in the new norm, someone please try and explain this to me.
Thank you for reading my random rant.

As a parent, it is difficult to handle small children when dining out – I get it. Smartphones are great “pacifiers” for toddlers that won’t sit still. My kids are 8 and 10 so this isn’t as much of an issue for me, but they do still get bored. I don’t allow them to bring electronics to restaurants. What they are allowed to bring is a kit of coloring books, crayons and etc.
Imagination is the best cure for boredom
