myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1557) 5 years ago

We used to eat in the living room and watch tv or the kids take food in their bedrooms, but when we moved into our new home, I stopped it! No food or drink is to leave the kitchen or dining room. It has made it so much easier to keep the rest of the house clean. And I do not eat near as much because I'm not sitting here on the couch with food and the computer. I have to get up and go get it and I don't want to get up then I don't get to eat. LOL

We only have a small 2 bedroom house so we do not have a dining room so we have to eat in the living room so when we first got our new carpets the first day that they were down i took a curry into the living room to eat then it sliped from the plate and landed on my foot so i had a few blisters on my foot and the carpet had some there so my girlfriend cared more about cleaning the house than making sure that i was not hurt, thanks

My husband and I occasionally eat on the couch if we are home alone. We do not allow any food in our daughters bedroom at all not even candy. We have popcorn in the living room once in awhile if we are watching a movie.

Thanks so much for responding. I won't tell your daughters y'all eat in the living room when they are gone. LOL

I allow it since its just the three of us. Sometimes my son and I would eat early and then when my hubby comes home from work he then has his dinner in front of the tele watching a program he likes to watch.

When we have visitors then I tend to let my son eat in the lounge while us adults eat at the table.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1557)  5 years ago

That is how we used to do , we'd eat and watch our favorite tv show or movie with the kids in the floor in front of the tv. Thanks for posting.

Yes, we eat food in most places except for the bathroom, for obivious reasons, and the back bedroom, but mainly beucase that room is used for stroage untill we can afford to decorate it. We have food in the kitchen, living & dining room (living & dining are open-plan anyway). Also occasionally some sort of breakfast in bed in the bedroom, but not often, and of course various snacks in the middle bedroom, which is where i am right now and where the computers are kept! There is just the two of us, plus the cat, so no kids to havewto clear up after.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1557)  5 years ago

That is how we used to do but with our new home, I changed the plans. No one, including me, liked it at first. LOL Thanks for responding.

We don't allow the children to eat outside the kitchen/ dining area. We do allow adults to eat in the living room. Mainly because when everyone is over at my house we all can't fit in the dining area all at once. So we decided that it would be ok for adults to eat in the living room. We each clean up our own mess so its not that big of a deal.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1557)  5 years ago

That's good that the adults clean up after themselves and are not messy. Thanks for your post.

Yea my family eats in the living room, but we have bo be very careful. This is how it goes in my house. We have a chore list for everyone. We all have to do different chores. When we eat and your the one to make the mess. You have to do the chores the next day. So....... No one makes a mess.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1557)  5 years ago

Hey that sounds really good. Very good idea. Thanks for posting.

I like eating in my room. If I had a little more space I'd put up a little dining table in my room so if something wrong happens while eating it won't be on my bed. I like eating in my room because I like to be in front of the computer while eating. As well, it's more private and I can really enjoy my food without having to worry about other people observing how I enjoy my food.

I don't blame you for that at all. Thanks for posting.

I used to allow food to be eaten in all rooms but i found several reasons to stop. lol 1. Eating on the puter and in front of the tv bedrooms etc leads to over eating. 2. Makes for more mess to clean up. 3. And someday i want to have a newer place and i dont want food eaten all over it. that is what the kitchen is for. 4. Food and drink also does a job on the keyboard on the puter too lol. 5. It also keeps you from eating on the fly so much when you have to stop and go to the kitchen to eat. I know it is easier this way with kids too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1557)  5 years ago

Yes, it does cause us to eat more, we don't realize what or how much we really are eating. Oh, yes,! been there dont that! about the food and drink on puter. I have spilled a while glass of water on my keyboard! Thanks for responding.
