Eating On The Couch

When it is time for dinner with your family do you all sit down at the kitchen table like we all used to do? Or do you grab your plate and run for the couch and the remote? And if you do this do you get yelled at like you better not get that on my couch!? and when you eat on the couch do you make a mess/ Or you are so used to your same spot you are a pro at not making messes?

lolz I sometimes eat on the couch and watch tv. That is when I'm alone and my family is away. I sometimes leave some mess and food traces on the couch and on the floor..hahaha But I make sure to clean it all afterwards.

My wife and I usually eat in front of the TV. We have a new baby and are trying to eat together more as a family at the dining table though.

I can only eat at the table. My roommate in the other hand can only eat on the couch watching TV. I don't watch TV and I can not eat without table.

It depends with us. We usually make the effort to set the table and sit down and eat as a family but there are times when we are watching something on T.V. or we can’t be bothered setting a table we will eat while sitting on the couch. If we have guests we always eat at the table. My mother would be horrified if she knew we sometimes have dinner on the couch; it’s a big NO NO in her house!

Everybody at the table, no phone, cell phones or texting allowed. Sometimes the news is on in the background and I let that slide because it can be fodder for conversation. Everybody is so busy that if we didn't eat together we might not get another chunk of uninterrupted time to talk and touch base with everyone.
