Do you eat at the kitchen table?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. Jemmifire (3407) 6 years ago

Or in the living room watching TV?

Previously I had a really small apartment so I didn't bother with a kitchen table, and got used to eating at my desk online, and now I'm thinking maybe I should get a kitchen table, but I'm wondering if it would be a waste of $250 lol.

At our house the kitcken table is mostly used in the morning for eating. After that we usually just eat in the living room, or actually the family room, and watch tv as we eat.

ok I'm glad we're not the only ones lol :)

I'm wondering if maybe I should just wait a year or 2 ya know?

I eat at the dining room table sometimes but not all the time
if I want to see something on tv I need to be by the tv to look at it so I take my plate over where the tv is.

When we lived in our apartment we ate in the living room, all of the time. Now that we bought a place. We have more room. My kitchen table is actually empty enough to eat on! It is so much nicer. Now, for 'special events' like Super Bowl and other such things it is in front of the TV.

Nope...we don't have a kitchen table big enough. So, we pile on my bed...and some the floor...and eat while watching what is recorded on the DVR.
And even if we had a table big enough to fit seven kids and two adults, our dine in area would not be big enough.
Some of the kids stay in the kitchen eating at the bar. But, mostly we watch the DVR and eat in our room...kids included.

Well I'm glad to hear I'm not the only family who does it.

My husband comes home rather later and we like to eat together, but our shows are on and we rather wind down and eat with the tv on (kills 2 birds with 1 stone)

but my mom was just telling me "I think you need a table, life is more structured that way and your daughter might eat better if shes more structured" (my daughter is picky)

I dunno.. She just turned 3, so I'm thinking maybe we'll wait until shes in school.

I try to make me and the kids eat at the table. We usually do at breakfast time and dinner time, but for lunch I usually sit at the computer.
We used to eat in the living room, but they made such a mess of the carpet that I have stopped it now.

We eat at the table. I like it. For years I went with out one and we ate on the sofa. But once we got a table it's so nice. We are all eating together and it inspires much more conversation it seems then when we were in the living room. I reckon eating in front of the TV, also didn't help.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Jemmifire (3407)  6 years ago

Thats why I'm debating waiting a year or 2, my kids are super young, so theres not much conversation to be had haha.

Well, I personally like to eat at the table. However in my family I'm usually the only one eating there, everyone else is on the couchwatching the news. I just like it because its more sturdy, and I've always liked eating there. I don't set a place or anything, just plop my meal down and dig in.

If you don't think you're going to use a kitchen table, don't bother!


myLot reputation of 89/100. Jemmifire (3407)  6 years ago

yeah thats what I'm thinking, I think I want to wait a year or 2, my kids are really young, My mom just keeps saying "oh you need a table, it's proper, bla bla bla" lol

Most of the time in my home we eat at the kitchen table. This may be because when I cook a meal I want everyone to sit down and take the time to actually taste their food and relax a bit. I do snack at the computer though, I must confess. If you do not think that you will actually sit at the table and eat then I do not think that you should buy one.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Jemmifire (3407)  6 years ago

how old are your kids??

I think I'd use one maybe 2 years from now, right now my kids are really young, so I'm thinking I'll wait, but my mom is always saying it's more proper to sit at the table lol.
