Taking Your Family out to the Game
It has been the tradition of many American families to take their families to professional sporting events for decades, but sadly, professional sports have gotten less and less affordable. It now costs around two hundred dollars to take your family of four to a basketball game to cheer for your favorite team. This doesn’t mean that the regular family shouldn’t actually spend time with their kids at sporting events. They teach a valuable lesson of teamwork and exercise so what are some alternatives if you are unable to afford a game and you do not want to sit on the couch and watch television all day? One solution is to have everyone bring a StadiumChair and watch a free game or a college game that will cost quite a bit less than the professional sports.
These days, people spend a lot less time with their kids than they should because they are too busy with work or they just have other things to do. There are many alternatives these days if you have a little extra income. Daycare and babysitting isn’t terribly expensive so kids barely see their parents every day except when they are being tucked in to bed. So this weekend, it would be a great idea to take your whole family out to see some lacrosse sticks bang or a basketball bounce while you teach them the fundamentals of teamwork and the history of rooting the for the home team.
If you feel like you are working too hard and you are losing the connection you have to your kids, then it is a good time to take a step back from your life and evaluate what direction they are headed and if you are responsible for what they are doing. Taking your family out once in a while will significantly reduce the chances that you will lose control of your kids in the future. A little family dinner and a movie can go a long way in their childhood even if it doesn’t seem like they want to go. In the long run, they will appreciate your attention and pass that along to their own kids. So even if it is raining, grab your raincoats and get outside as a family before it is too late. Think of it as an investment for your future grandchildren because it will end up affecting them as well.
