Do you sit at a meal together with your family on a regular basis?

I don't do this.. and I live with my father... in most times when it happens.. I eat and after.. I leave him eating alone...

yes we are doing like this but also with the tv switched on but in house with parents and brother in college with my friends

No, not at all.I sit with them rarely.

i eat with my family twice a day. its easy coz we are only three. me, my wife, my mom and of course my daughter. we never miss eating together.

I wish! Everynight I keep on hoping we'll be able to enjoy a good meal, sitting down at the kitchen table, like it should be...but my husband always goes and eat in the living room, sitting on our leather couches (arrgh) and watching a movie. I just hate that, but end up going to,cuz i don't want to eat alone. HOnnestly, I find that tv destroys families.

Yes, it is a great time for family to get together and bond. To talk about whatever is going on in your lives and feelings about each other.

Yes, we try to every night. It is our time to find out what is happening at school and who the crush of the week is. It gives us time to plan our weekend together and plan things that we want to do as a family. It is our bonding time, the tv is off and only occassionaly is the radio on. We value dinner time together!

Our kids are young adults who do not live at home anymore but we still make an effort to have a meal together at least once a week. If they cannot make the trip home for dinner, we meet them in the city and go to a restaurant.

i eat whit my parents only in weekends.In the rest of the week i eat alone because my schelduel is not the same whit my parents schelduel

yes, its a nice feeling having a dinner with your whole family chatting with them and its a family ties that bond more communications and the love of a family

My family always sits down to dinner together every single night, even if it is just pizza. My children are still young enough that this is possible, but I do know it isn't possible for everyone. When they get older and involved in school activities/sports it may not happen every night, but we will have at least 2 or 3 nights a week where it will be mandatory to sit down together just to keep in touch with each others lives.

when I was growing up my family always had their meals together and its something I will always remember. when my own children were growing up it was very different...circumstances didn't allow us to have all our meals together and I really think we missed out on lots of quality time together. now that I'm 1200 miles away from my family and living with roommates, we have been enjoying all our evening meals together, like a family. Its a wonderful time for us to talk and catch up on things going on in each other's lives. Thats one thing that helps me get through missing my own family so much.

We sit down as a family for dinner everynight. Now it is easy because my kids are only 2 and 4 years old. But I intead to keep this up for as long as we can. It is so cute, we will sit down to eat, and my boy will look at me and say... "How was your day dad?" I sure hope that when he gets older he will still ask.

Yes I make it a point that the night time dinner we all have it together.You know that is so much fun,laughter and watching tv together makes us very very happy

my family manages to eat breakfast and supper together everyday and even lunch when there is no school or work. we also spend every sunday eating dinner with my husbands entire family. it is a good way to keep up with each others lifes. i love it and hope it never changes or at least until the kids grow up and more out.

No, very rarely I sit with my family & have any meal. When I have meals with my parents, my bro is missing. If they three are having meal together, am missing & if me & mom are having meals together, my dad & bro bother are missing. Like this, we all four very rarely, may be once in a month able to have meals together. But in my family, its better if we don't have meals together because otherwise we fight a lot lol!

we all used to when the kids were young. now very seldom maybe once a month-if that.

Hi there . I know it is very good to do what you said, but we do not get enough time for it in our busy lives. Everyone is so engrossed in his daily work that sometimes, it is not even possible to eat a proper meal, let alone enjoying a nice meal with one's family. In my case, my family sits and eats together on only one day, that is a Sunday in a week. This is because it is a holiday and a non working day . But it is good for bonding and sharing your problems in life .

As a filipino family, regular meal time will not start without the entire family seated in the table. No TV and radio on. The table is lead by the father who sits just besided the mother and the entire member of the family around the table.
