there used to be.
the answer to "what's for dinner" used to be meatloaf. or pork chops. or ham and scalloped potatoes. what's wrong with america is, nobody says meatloaf or pork chops or ham and scalloped potatoes anymore.
what's wrong with america is, now people say, "no clue." or maybe they say, "i dunno.....subway?"
you can't raise a family if you don't know what's for dinner. i'm sorry, you just can't.
you also can't raise a family if you never go back to school shopping and if you don't have a swing or at least a tire tied to your tree. you don't have to have a full-blown, pre-fab wooden "climbing device" in your backyard, but you do gotta at least have a swing or a tire tied to your tree.
there's not a kid on the planet who can grow into a proper, solid citizen without one of this parents - preferably the dad - giving him "the look." if your kid doesn't know what "the look" even means, you've failed. period. sorry.
it is also helpful, though not essential, if your sons wear striped t-shirts with their dungarees and your daughters wear plaid jumpers.
you're welcome.
