Do you eat at the Dining Table at home? or somewhere else?

Funnythat I am just now reading this discussion. I just posted a very simular discussion a week ago and I did get quite a few responses so I was quite happy about it. I hope that after I post this response, I see a lot of other responses to it. Yes I eat at the diningroom table, almost everyday for every meal. I like to concentrate and enjoy my food and I can't do that if I am doing something else at the same time, like watching TV or being on the computer. I also have a really nice dining room so I like to sit at the table because I like to enjoy it. Here is a picture of my diningroom.

I tend to eat food at the dining table, in the sitting room or in my bedroom. My first choice of place is the sitting room as it is comfortable and near the kitchen. If I cannot eat there and I have a full plate of food then I will eat at the dining table, but if I am just eating a sandwich or something I will take it upstairs and eat it in my room as there is also reasonably comfortable.

ha ha ha ha ha... sounds so familiar to me. We all like to watch TV while we eat. Regular meals are always in front of the TV. With the exception of guests or during festive season. That is why I try to position the dining table as close to the line of sight of the TV as possible. That way, we get to eat at the table, and still be able to watch TV. Other times, we would just get out a few stools and just sit on the sofa to consume our meal. As long as it is in front of the TV, we usually do not give much thought to where we are gonna be sitting for the meal. 8p

I too dun eat at my dining table ^_^ LOL =P I think it's just too inconvenient for ourwhole family to share a small dining table.. and also i guess it's a habit since young, because i dun wanna miss my show on tv, i will always prefer to eat later.. Whenever my mom sees that, she will take all the food, put it on a plate and bring it to me on the sofa.. LOL ^_^ Since then, i've always been eating on the sofa but never in my bedroom =P

Sometimes when there's a tv show that I can't miss,I'll eat in front of tv.

I hardly eat at the dining table except when there's a reunion. I have the habit of eating in front of my desk. I prefer doing some work or surfing the web when eating.

I have a smaller table in my kitchen and there is so much stuff on it that I never use it for kitchen things. I have papers and things stacked on it so the counter is used, but not the table and I eat in front of the television all the time. I have the neatest little table that can be a table or a little seat........the top flips over. It is a table for me most of the time, but the grandkids like to flip the top and sit on it but usually just for short periods of time. Every once in a while I eat at the computer desk, but there isn't much room for a plate!

I have a dining table and I love it! it's huge and spacious and can seat 6 people comfortably. we also chose cushy dining seats so it's one of my favourite places to sit. hubby and i tend to eat in front of the telly as well, at our coffee table, but that means we have to sit on tiny chairs. Cos if we sit on the sofa there is no platform for the food to be placed. So lately, especially if there are many dishes, we use the dining table.

i do have a dining table at home. when my family are eating together, we'll make use of the dining table. if there's only me eating, i'll just eat somewhere. but most times i'll still eat at the dining table. i just need a book to keep me company while eating. i can't really eat in front of the tv coz i'll be too distracted to eat. lol

Sometimes not at the table but else where. The computer desk the counter that is like a table but in a chair next to it. the dinner table is not even being used to eat at. Sitting on the coach; sometimes in my room. It depends. Have a nice one.

Most of the time I am eating in the sofe infront of the television.

Well sometimes, I eat at the kitchen table. Then I will eat in my living room too. I know that I don't allow my kids to eat in my front room. I hate to vaccuum any crumbs up..

Most nights we all sit at the dinner table and eat together. On movie nights we all pile up in the living room around the coffee table and eat together. No matter where we eat we try to be together. Dinner is one of those rare times you can get everyone settled together and have quality family time.

It's quite weird but I like to eat my dinner when I'm siting on my bed and I'm keeping my plate in hand, hehe. I don't remember when I last time put my plate on anything like a table.

We have a dining table and most of the times we eata t dining table only and sometimes if there are guests at home and we need to have food if we are getting late to go out anywhere, then we might sit comfortabel anywhere either in sofa or chair or any other place around

The only time that we actually eat at the dining room table, is mainly for special occasions. I work at my table, honestly. My husband bought me a wireless mouse and keyboard for Christmas last year so I would not have to be stuck at my desk all of the time working. I can now sit at my table and work and put my feet up if I wish to. We usually sit on the couch and eat and watch television. We work seven days per week nights and we are so wore out. We just want to sit and eat and go to bed.

me too dont eat at the dining table...we use our dining table only when we have some guests. Most of the times i used to dine at a small table in the kitchen. And yes! i'm also a great fan of eating while watching TV and even while doing some thing on the computer!

eating in a dining table or not eating in a dining table depends on the family or the person. in my family we always practice eating together in the dining table. it also enhances close family ties. during dinner time its the only time that me and my other siblings can meet up with our dad. aside from eating we would also talk about the events that happened to us that day because in the morning everybody will be too busy waking up and heading to work or school. there are times though that my family would have a 'tripping' where we would eat outside and b-b-q even though its evening. i miss those days. and sometimes when we couldnt have a get together i would eat in my room or in the living room or just wherever i want.

We always eat at our dining table. I think that it is a good place to slow down from the day and bond with your children and spouse. We also don't allow the TV on during this time. This gives us some time to talk and relax with each other.
