Nowdays is hard to make time eating with my own family, because from the morning I have to work earlier, so I have my own breakfast, lunch in office, and only dinner we can make it to eating together with my family. So how about you guys? do you have your own time?

Even though I live with my family we almost never end up eating together, it is like everybody fends for themselves, and gets there own food.

not with me, my parents live in the province and my other sibling already have their own family, i live alone and im the only single in our family. and so most of the time i eat alone outside or with friends or with work mate. though the only time that i can spend that with my family is during occasion like if one of us have party and etc. but seldom not often.

Hello simondarmawan! I'm recently married. But when I lived at my parents house, everyone ate at different times, for school and work puposes.
Now that I am married, I am really trying for my husband and I to eat togeter, I think it's very important to make this a tradition, and not to be eating alone. I think its sometimes sad not to have someone to share your meal with! I am very happy now because we can be together at that time.
Well, thats for me! Keep mylotting and have a very nice day. Libna.

I love eating with my family. I think it's a great time to talk things over, and just enjoy being together, without having to worry about anything else. After all, who can be angry/worried when there's food around? Haha, certainly not me!

Of course I do, in fact, everyday. Like you, I have to work in the day and can only join my family in the evening for dinner. However, on weekends, we will have meals together, either at home or at some restaurant.

Hello simon! For me, I do and I find it a must to eat with my family if the time allows me to. Breakfast and dinner should be shared be a family meal. It's nice to start the day through breakfast and share things that everyone would be up doing.In that way the family member could have a say about it and show support so as to give as power in really pursuing it. And then when the day almost closes, dinnertime is the best way to share how the day went through, what activity have we done best or have we missed and the family members will praise us or comfort us if ever the latter occurs. Meals contribute to the oneness and gives strong bond to the whole family.That's why I almost always consider it a must be done thing. To add to that, during meals, I make sure it's focused with family conversation meaning no TV nor radio around.After all, what our family member says is more than just a movie or music.
