When Eating Solo

Rama sometimes gets glued to the TV and requests to eat while watching. Of course I object and try to teach her not to.

Me: When we're eating, it's nice to sit together, talk to each other, talk about your day, the food...
Rama: And when you're eating alone, you talk to yourself.

oo nga naman. Although,I would like to impose that rule at home - when I already have kids. I really don't like it that my husabnd eats in front of the TV.

Sigh, Carlos got it from his father and its really a habit. Used to hate it as wanted to "talk."

But, it caught on and it no longer bothers me. I just turn it off when there are pressing issues to discuss.

Hindi naman couch potato, just couchists?!

Hey, Tesa. As Tita Honey would argue, OK lang to keep TV on as long as there's also conversation happening, and we're not completely tuning out adn ignoring each other. So I'm actually not THAT rabid against TV on. See ya soon!!! Rama excited to see her ninang 'the yoga teacher' and go shopping - holding you to that!
