Yesterday, I went to soak in the hot spring at the foot of the mountain with Uncle Zuo’s family. Since it's not snowing, let's plan a big meal. At this time, Uncle Zuo looked at his wife and asked, "Do you want to take the baby with you?" His wife Qiu Qiu said, "Send the baby back later and we can go there by ourselves." Eat." I looked at the children who were having fun, and I couldn't bear to tell them this cruel decision, because like us, they were looking forward to the next trip while playing.
I glanced at my husband, and I was more inclined to take the children with me. Because I feel that we are a team and can’t bear to leave the kids behind to enjoy the delicious food alone, but my companions plan not to take the kids with them, so I’m a little confused, so I confirmed my husband’s opinion. At this time, Uncle Zuo relieved me. He told his wife that we should take the children and told us an interesting story.
Before going out to eat hot pot last time, they specially sent the children home. Just as I sat down and prepared to enjoy the delicious food, my mother-in-law called me: "Why did you go out to eat by yourself and leave your baby at home? The boss called me to complain, saying that you went out to eat by yourself without taking them with you." It turned out that they As soon as he left, Brother Zuo called his grandmother and said that his parents had gone out to eat and he didn't take them with him. So this time, they learned the lesson and took their children with them. It's exactly what we wanted.
When we told the children the good news, they were very happy. Wan'er said, "Mom, that's what I like. After playing, let's have dinner together in the evening." Hey, little adults. Brother Zuo confirmed again: "We are going to eat too." Mom Qiu Qiu responded: "Yes, you are going." Brother Zuo's persistence is not only reflected in his firm eyes at this moment, but also in his The willpower that kept me awake all the way. Qiu Qiu said that Brother Zuo didn't sleep all the way, maybe because he was guarding his parents, for fear of being thrown home if he fell asleep. Haha, it’s time for parents to reflect on themselves. The children’s consciousness has awakened and they can no longer go against their children’s wishes.
Our family has always had the same attitude towards the issue of whether to take the children out to eat. In daily family social interactions, we carry them everywhere like a tortoise shell, as long as they are willing to do so; in work-related social interactions or private social interactions, we usually make it clear to the children that this is mom and dad’s private time or that they have work Don't bring children with you on this task. Although they may pout, they will accept it.
Therefore, whether to take the children out to eat or not depends on each family. However, it is necessary to explain the reasons clearly to the children and set good guidelines. You cannot ignore the feelings of the children just because they are young, let alone Get rid of them because they are too troublesome, and maintain a good parent-child relationship while retaining your own private space.
