Debunking mealtime myths
Dear Grandparenting: It’s darn near impossible to get my grandchildren to sit down together for a meal. Both parents work and let them fend for themselves in the kitchen. I know my cooking isn’t the problem because I can still whip up something nutritious and yummy with the best of them.
I always felt like good things happen when a family eats together. It’s a special time that does my heart good and the best time to get a grip on how the kids are doing.
My pediatrician used to say that family meals were one good way to prevent juvenile delinquency. And you know what? He was right. All my grown children are good responsible adults. So what does that say for my grandkids? Janice Lynch, Marysville, Washington
