If you had only 45 minutes to stay with your family a day, what would you do? Watching TV or eating?
According to the latest survey about family life in Britain, many people probably do both at the same time. The results of the survey of 3,000 children and parents signal (暗示) a worrying problem: The family relationship is becoming worse.
Some experts (专家) say that the problem is caused by a “family-unfriendly culture”. The results show that most families get together for only 45 minutes a day. And most of the time is spent either in front of the TV or eating.
Sally Brown, a 15-year-old girl, said, “There are two girls in my family — my sister and I. Our parents never play with us and they don’t think they should do this. When we go outside and play with other children, our mother usually does housework or cooks. When our father gets back home, we have dinner together. And then we go out to play again after having helped wash the dishes. Our parents don’t always help us do anything we can — sometimes they even encourage us to do something difficult on our own. They think this is a much better way to educate children. In fact, we hope our parents can read to us before we go to bed. We hope to spend more time with them.”

Dear Dr Know, I love my grandfather, and he loves me and my sister (my sister is only three years old.). He spends almost all his free time with me and my sister. The problem is that my grandfather’s 70th birthday is on June 20th, but he doesn’t like to talk about it. He doesn’t want to celebrate (庆祝) it. However, I’d like to do something nice for him. What would be a good celebration for him? Could you please give me some advice? Yours, Frank |
Dear Frank, I can completely understand your grandfather’s feelings towards his age. Maybe your grandfather doesn’t want to talk about his age. If you want to do something for him, you can choose a day to celebrate, not his birthday. On his birthday, you don’t need to use candles, the 70th birthday card, or to write “70” on the cake. If I were you, I’d pick a later but age-unrelated Dr Know |
