Help me with this sports-watching question...

[Anonymous]

Maybe the womenfolk could keep themselves busy by making snacks for the guys in the TV room.


Seriously, I got my kids to sit down and watch football with me by making it about the food. We'd make a hot dog bar or homemade wings and potato skins or some other fun food for an early dinner and eat while we watched some of the game. It brought the whole family in for a little while and some of them were interested, some of them weren't. Now that they're older, my daughter will still come over and ask if we're having "football dinner."

Well aren’t you special, parent of the year.

I'm not special. I just think that sounds mind-numbing.

Ditch the TV.
What a waste of time.
