Breakfast was at the table but every other meal except Sunday dinner was eaten on your knees watching the telly.
It is odd to me what other people consider important when it comes to children but I'm happy to accept it is me out of step and not everyone else.
Went out for a meal with one of my brothers and his two kids (about 2 and 4 yrs old). My nephew was making such a racket, singing at the top of his voice, I told him to pack it in, which he did immediatley.
Later my brother told me off, saying I was stifling the child and that if you tell them to be quiet they may never speak again. What a load of old bollocks.
