Some people don't like talking while having food. In my family most of the serious discussions are happening in the dining table. I think it is a better palce to discuss serious things as everybody will available there and will be a very happy mood also. What is your comments?

I guess you are right. The dining table is the perfect place for serious discussions and stuff like that for the ideal family because everyone's there. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen in my family, because it's a very rare occassion in our house when everyone is at home on time for dinner. We don't really eat at the same time a lot, but we do try. It just doesn't happen very often. The best times that we get to eat together as a complete family is when we go out of the house and into a restaurant or something like that. Sometimes, when I'm with my friends and I'm really hungry, I don't really want to talk with them. I just want to concentrate on what I'm eating, and talk with them when we're all full and contented.

I like talking while eating as well. It makes the kids eat fast because they know I am going to ask them serious questions tho...

To lunch I do not chat, but I do not want arguments, would give annoyance to me to the digestion, an other place and an other hour not to table.

Of course. It is hard for the family to get all together all at one place with our work. So, we savor the limited time we have. We discuss almost anything, our day, our trips and everything. It's actually quite cool.
