Watching TV with son
Authored by Rickey Combs
I am learning that kids actually start acting like teenagers in fifth grade now. I thought I was good until my oldest was going to be in high school, but he is in fifth grade and already acting like a total teenager. He doesn’t want to sit at the table to eat dinner with us and he literally shudders if I try to show him affection in public. I never thought this would begin and be happening while he was still in elementary school.
I recently found something that is basically equivocal to a gold mine and that is something that he and I actually enjoy doing together. It has become a total tradition and I will keep it that way just to have something special with him. Every Sunday night we cuddle on the couch and watch America’s Funniest Home Videos on DIRECTV Chicago. I cherish these Sunday nights with him and will enjoy them while I can! I am sure in a couple of years or months or days he will be appalled at the idea of sitting on the couch with me and will probably not even want to let me see him smile.
