> When everybody is helping preparing dinner and what not
Right, during those times, the family should be helping prep dinner. My four year old helps prep dinner and does chores afterwards.
But we, as a family, also have leisure time and interests. In my opinion, if your kid was into baseball, you should try and show an interest by going to games or playing catch. If they were into dance, maybe go to their recitals or encourage them to practice.
No one is expecting you to be good at your kids hobbies. Or even enjoy them. But I believe you should show support and make an attempt to regularly engage with them.
