Families eating supper together every night of the week at the kitchen table needs to make a comeback. The connection built in that hour is vital to the health and strength of the family unit.

Doing and socializing with REAL people, building real friendships! That's the foundation for everything else.

I would settle to bring back basic respect. I would also really like to come back in a time when the public space was not an hostile place with a million of cameras ready to record you.

As a woman, social expectations and dating…need to be clearly communicated face to face. This isn’t a text.

I would bring back community spirit. When you used to know all your neighbours and help each other. People acted more humble years ago. We didn’t have the internet and there was authenticity everywhere.

I would add keeping the outside of your house presentable. Years ago we kept our windows clean and front door and doorstep washed. The lucky people who had front gardens (not us 😂) at least kept them tidy and weeded. Some people took great pride in doing their gardens. I would bring back the milkman delivering milk and leaving it on the front doorstep. I’d bring back everyone reading the newspaper 😂

Dressing for occasions....we rarely have those these days, not the regular folks anyway.

As a woman who was around when all of these were normal, I'd bring them all back.
