Yesterday I had dinner with my wife at Chicken Rice Shop and witnessed a moment which I believe each and everyone of us could do better.
I saw 4 families sitting next to us, with at least a kid in the family eating dinner together. But sadly, with all due respect all parents were with their phones, checking their phones. A father that I saw, constantly checking the phone every minute.
I'm guilty of that behaviour. I checked my phone most of the time when having dinner which I don't think I should have. It is an attitude which I believe will ruin the good relationship with my family. I don't know about you, but I can forsee the next generations would be worse.
We have to change this no matter what. I know, you know in this modern world we are tied up with piles of work, and on a good note it can be easily accessible by using phone. But do you really do your work via phone, or you are actually using it to sociallize?
Hence, we have to balance it by knowing which one to prioritize. I am taking one step after another. First, no phone during dinner with family. Thats for sure. Let's have a proper conversation with family, because that's quality.
