Does you family still eat dinner together at the table?

I am afraid i have the similar problem that you have and that is my working hours are very late in the night, by the time i reach home its mostly around 11:30 pm, all of my family members have had their dinner by then and i mostly microwave what ever is left for me :( but on sundays we make it a point as every body is home to have breakfast, lunch and dinner together on the same table!

Hi, I am a teacher so i have regular working hours. My husband on the other hand is an engineer so he works on shift. I have lunch with my 1st son daily. As for dinner, it will be with both my sons. My husband joins us for all the times that his work shift allows. It is part of the whole bonding process. Especially when the child is young. I believe it is important to have meals with the family but with a rigid working schedule and both parents working late is the norm, who can blame the decline in family dinners.

Yes we make it a point to have dinner together.Even though we are late sometimes till we ait for each other.It makes all of us very happy.

My husband always works away from home. I held a job also where I used to work overtime. That leaves my kids taking breakfast, lunch and dinner on their own. Now that I am staying home, the habit of one eating at his own comfortable time cannot be shaken. We hardly take meals together at home. Dining together happens always when we all go out for breaks at the mall or someplace else outdoors.

hai there, im never experince eating with family in one table, since i was kid until now. we usually eating in the living room or on our own room im realize that eating together in one table is importance, cause according to some survey, eating together with family or your couple bring more happiness than family that doesn not do. hope this answer your question :)

yeah, we always do. sometimes I just want to go sit on the couch and eat, but I am getting use to it now.

my son and i eat together for every meal at the table but my husband never eats at the table anymore he eats on the couch. i think he doesnt litke the chairs. they are wood and not padded.

There is a big problem with this situation at my family.We are the kind of family that we like eat all together at the table.The last 2 years my husband open him business so now work 12 hour at the day and all the week.When he came home my son is sleeping when my son weak up for school my husband is sleeping this time so we have very little opportunities to sit and eat all together 1-2 dinner and 1-2 breakfast at the week.But when w have the time we never don't eat apart.

This habit is developed by my father since i have been grouwn up. we all brothers and sisters discussed day to day matter on the table regarding politics, film, sports, current events etc..... and enjoy lot of funs. even if we all are free on holidays we took lunch together.

I try very hard to get the family at the dinner table at least twice a week. It is hard though as my 2 young adult kids, whom live here, are busy with their lives now and work. But, on their days off, we try and all eat together. We are a close family and that time is still very important to us.

we have dinner together at the table. we dont have breakfast together. that is why we want to eat dinner all together. most families want to have dinner watching the tv,i think

My husband works night so he isn't home during the week for dinner but me and my kids do eat together at the table. It makes me feel good to sit down with them and eat, like setting a good example. To me it is special time with my kids where they are not running around acting crazy =)

yes.we still all together at the table when dinner.that is important.that is one way also that family bonds and close together

No. In my family we never really have sat down to dinner. We don't even own a dinner table.
