In our family, it is generally understood that we should have dinner together and our morning tea is also together. Except this time we hardly find time to spend with one another in our family except on the holidays. So dinner together is one of the best times for us as a family gathering. We discuss day's events and further next days planning and we also have lot of fun as we have our dinner while watching television.

Well, in family there is me, my younger brother and my Mom. As, my brother works in some other state that leave me and my mom in the house. And we both like to watch television while having our dinner. And she likes to watch her daily soaps and I like to watch my movies so we both have dinner in different rooms. It's only when we have relatives at home then only we all eat our dinner together.

it has always been a habit for all of us in the family to be eating dinner together everyday (unless one has to be out which is very seldom). no one starts until one finishes the cooking. what's more amazing is even if there is some argument or conflict between any of the members, no one skips the meal or doesn't eat with the rest.
we consider it one of the bonding times of the family when we can talk about how the day went for each of us or what plans we have.

My nuclear family is comprised of my mom, my sister, myself and my husband. We have dinner together a few times a week.

hi laken,
since its just me and my husband, we always eat together not only for dinner but even lunch and breakfast. very seldom do we not eat together.
when i am still with my parents, i think we also eat dinner together at most times. it just lessen when i started working and go home late, but still in a week there will be 2-3 times we eat dinner together.

We have it every night. During weekends, we even have all 3 meals together. Sometime we have tea in the evening together too. It's like a bonding time for our family.
