Just a thought after reading the McDonalds thread today.
I said I'd never let my son into McDonalds as we were vegetarians when he was growing up (he's 23 now) BUT I let him do everything else, have a t.v in his room, the latest toys, play station, all kinds of rubbish.
Luckily it didn't seem to do him any harm, he's a professional artist now and a vegan.
I guess I felt guilty as I was divorced and had to work 40 hours a week in order to pay the mortgage.
I wish I had been able to spend more time doing things with him and ditching the t.v, playstation and other things but I never seemed to have any free time and was always so tired.
I think this is symptomatic of modern life, we are too tired to do anything with our kids and buy them rubbish to keep them amused.
Our lives have turned away from all that now and we have no t.v and live a simple life by the sea. I only wish things could have been different but if you have to work to survive how do you cope?
