Do you eat together as a family?

We kind of eat together as a family, the kids all sit at the table in the dining room and hubby and I sit in the living room in front of the tv to have ours. This is mainly because we do not have enough chairs around the dining table for us all and we have never got around to replacing the missing ones!!

Yes we usually sit down together even though it is usually in front of the TV. The kids used to ate at the table but they could still see the TV. Now that they are older they get the privileged of eating in the living room. I guess I spent to many years of eating alone and I always had the TV on. My wife has the same bad habit so we hardly never eat all at the table.

I think mealtimes are a really important part of family life, so it's important to me that we eat together. Sometimes at lunchtime we'll split into two groups and have a help yourself lunch in order that those who are really hungry (normally me!) stop moaning whilst the others finnish what they're working on and come home to eat when they're through. In the evening though I'll hold our meal until everyone is home. If it's getting really late I'll feed the kids seperately, but that's pretty unusual. I have a really big table which I can pull out downstairs if we're a large group. It's a pain carrying dinner down there, but I prefer it to splitting up.

My family loves to eat together. When my husband is out of town though it is more of me and the kids are eating while watching a movie or the news as we have hectic schedules but when he is home every meal is at the dinner table and we truly enjoy it. This is where we can talk about the day and pick on each other and have fun! I would truly recommend starting at least once a week. It is truly well worth it!

We do yet on most nights. On Wednesdays, we have AWANA (my daughter attends and my son works the games) so that's our quickie out-the-door meal. My son is a teen now and I expect that he will miss a few dinners now. He's into hanging with his friends a bit more.

Regretfully, my son and I only eat together on Sundays now. This is because of our schedules. The twins eat at their own little table and in the evenings I only have a sandwich or something quick. My son is with the twins in the mornings then at 12 the carer takes over and stays until 8 pm. when my husband was alive we always ate together. Even when he was confined to bed I had dinner with him in on a tray in the bedroom. Before the children left home we always ate together. I enjoyed this time. Good posting dear friend.

Yes, when the grandchildren are here or others come for a meal with us, since their are only us two at home now. The children are grown and have their own children now. We have them over as much as we can for meals. Yes, we all eat together as a family. These are the wonderful times we have when we are all together.

Sometimes coincidentally we get to eat together but mostly we eat at different times of the day.

yes sometimes on holidays we tend to sit together enjoy some good food and discuss important things lol

99% of the time we do eat together as a family. On occasion when my husband is not home for dinner, I usually wait to eat with him so when the kids eat I just sit at the table with them and talk about their day. When we have all 6 kids together there is not enough room for all of us to sit at the table, so my husband and I sit in the family room. Luckily for us our kitchen and family room are all one big room so we are still all together.

sometimes i eat together but sometimes not cause we have different time of dinner

I have dinner with my husband. When my son was with us, I tried my best to have all at the same table, mostly for two reasons. One is to have a bit of communication, and the other is chinese dinner is served in a different way. The leftovers will look unapetiting, unless put aside beforehand. So in case anybody is late, he will call before dinner to avoid others' waiting.

It's been a family tradition for all of us to eat together. even if we have to wait for an extra hour or two.

I always do that,Cause I havn't found a proper job yet`

Well there’s only three of us now as a family so dinner time is always a family affair. Previously, when we lived together with the extended family, it was more a matter of convenience. Now, even my son will wait up for dad, no matter how late it is. As it is dinner time in India is quite late by habit, but yesterday hubby plodded in at around 11:30 at night and by the time dinner was over, it was a new day as per the calendar!

Traditionally, we eat together as family. When i was young that's what we get used to and do but as my siblings gone because they had their own family now and the only left is me and my parents living together which give us very limited time to be together including eating time. It had change a lot as we have are own things to do.

We also have a small dining table so we don't eat at the same time. Sometimes we all eat together in our patio. I want us to eat together in our meals everyday. I want to have a bigger table enough for all of us here. We are 8 here in our house.

We always eat together. now that we're older, we sometimes eat out at night, but my parents always ask if we'll be having dinner at home. And if we are then they'll wait to have dinner with everyone present or they'll save some food for the late comer. It's nice to have dinner as a family. We've been doing it for years since I was born and until now, I still look forward to dinner.

We usually eat together when we are at home during a meal especially for dinner or during the weekend. Thought during weekdays I usually eat at work and so as my dad but dinner time is usually family time so we never fail to still in the dining room together to enjoy our hearty meal no matter the meal is just simple or may it be extravagant. Happy Mylotting!!!

I always dinner with my family because in 24 hours we are busy in work so we didnt have time to share our gossiping with family and eat together is a good way to get closer to your family members.
