This morning my DD and my before schooler (both 8yrs) were playing with the little ones and pretending to cook them all food with the play kitchen and play food.
My DD pretended to cook them a cottage pie and they all pretended to eat it up. Then it was the before schoolers turn to cook, to which she just turned to DD and said.............
"I can't be bothered to cook, lets send out for a take away"
Although it made me chuckle it was also a bit sad. Gone are the days when a take away was a rare treat, now it is so common in a childs diet that they are using it in role play.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against a good take away (have one at least a couple of times a month) :thumbsup:
I guess its just a sign of the times.
