whining and dining
My sixth grader will tell you that we NEVER go out to dinner. He is partially correct. My husband and I love going out to dinner when we can grab a sitter but we rarely go out as a family. There is a big reason for this. It is NOT ENJOYABLE! There are other little reasons too: I spend more time cutting up other people’s food than actually eating my own, there are endless trips to the bathroom and there’s the whining. Oh, the whining. There is more whining than dining.
We will give it a try tomorrow however, when we celebrate my husband’s birthday at Benihana. We will have a perfectly nice time and we might think for a second that we should go out to dinner more often. And then we will come to our senses and save it for special occasions.

That’s why you order wine–so the whines from the kids become muted–or you just do not care anymore.
