Hello everyone, I am happy to be in our midst. This is my first post here. I want to share the importance of family hanging out. I come from a family where my parents are too busy to hang out with us. You may only see them during public holidays, and they will like to rest during those days. I and my siblings get used to it. We don't disturb them because. My dad will always want to see you read your book. Sometimes you pretend you are reading when you are not. This made us withdrawn and not familiar with places. I promised myself I would not train my kids like this. Luckily for me,I got married and left my family. Work took my husband to another city, but I still kept my promise. My first child was about 3 months old when we started hanging out together, so my husband will always hang out with us once he comes back on weekends. Some days we don't cook; we hang out to catch fun. My children know that hanging out during special events such as their birthday, Valentine's Day, Father's or Mother's Day, Children's Day, Christmas, public holidays, etc.Family hanging out has many benefits. It makes one conversant with the happenings in his or her environment.It makes one happy and energised.It aids in family bonding. It has numerous advantages. During the festive season,we had back-to-back hangouts,from watching movies to going to the supermarket to get some groceries.
My kids were happy; each day, they would suggest where to go. Travelling to the village in celebration of the festive season did not stop us from hanging out. We visited relatives, tourist sites,fast food restaurants, and restaurants known for the preparation of family delicacies. It was really worth it. When I look back and remember how I was raised,I am happy that I have been able to make a change. Kudos to my husband, who will always support us financially if he is not with us.In conclusion, parents and guardians, please try to make time to hang out with your family members.Please note that all pictures are mine.
