Question for Mom's

[lamvmomof4 0]

I was thinking last night about how I will eat supper or any other meal with my family. I have 4 kids and they usually keep me pretty busy at supper with cut this and there stories and what not. I was thinking after I have the surgery it is going to be pretty hard to concentrate on chewing with all the kids and there needs so I am thinking I will have to eat before or after and just sit with them while they all eat. Is it weird that I am finding this as to be my hard struggle? What do you guys think about eating with the family?

I think it is a good concern. I have 5 myself. I try to cut their meat before I bring it to the table. my oldest 2 (9 & 6) are pretty good at running to the kitchen for whatever is needed. But I may start off like you are saying. I know eventually it will all settle in, but to start off it might be good to eat meals w/o the distraction!

Another thing I was thinking of trying is to use a little spoon to eat for a while so I don't take too much into my mouth and hence into my belly!

You could treat yourself to a baby silver spoon, or maybe one of those souvenir sugar spoons. Then you could make up a fun story about why you are using it!
