Hi mylotters, I really enjoy my dinner specially sharing it with my family. We enjoy having each other in the dinner table and have a lovely conversation. We consider dinner time as one of our family bonding time, that helps us to become more closer to each other. How about you? Do you always eat dinner with your family? If not, Do you love to have dinner with your family? Thanks for reading my post.Have a great day ahead. Smile always ^_^

Ohh yeah before, when I was just staying home. We always take dinner together with my family. Since I am working now, I am just taking my dinner here in the office and its free by the way. The only time I could eat dinner together with my family is every weekend or holiday.

Not always, but sometime it feels good to eat with the whole family, I only eat on my own and and I watch TV while eating to avoid getting bored.

Dear friend, Not always but whenever we all get time and it would be an enjoyable time too. Mostly it happens on special days like festivals, birthdays, so on. Still it would be an special movement for us. Yes I do love to have dinner with my family and I hope our family members too love that.

I love to eat dinner with my family because i believe that that was the only time that we had our bonding. But I used to stay near my work so i cant be with them on dinner during weekdays. But during Saturday and Sunday i make it a point that we are complete. i guess those habits makes our family more closer with each other and it makes us more stronger to face our life that is full of struggle.

Oh, how wonderful and lucky you are karlle, having an ideal family. Giving precious time closer together. Most of the time we ate together at breakfast before go to office and school but always instant. At night we have different time and food to eat because we ate less at night. We sched family day once or twice a month, depend on each schedule.

As much as possible, I do eat dinner with my family. As you have said it is good and its a bonding time for all. But in our line of work, we usually come home late. That means me and my wife. My wife works in a company and I have a work of my own. Usually, we go home late. So it is not very often that we eat together with our child. But usually on weekends, we always spend time together as well as go outside for dinner. It could be in a restaurant, in the mall or something that we consider special.

We always eat dinner together, my husband and I, and if not my husband and I then my husband and his parents. I believe in eating with family as in this way we can talk about our day, and plans we may have.

Hi Karlle, Yes, I always look forward to dinner coz this is also in part my family's bonding time. We all enjoy food and we love to eat, and during dinner we are able to share our experiences during the day.

hie karlie, its a tradition in my family to eat dinner together. this tradition is alive since my late grandparents days. we all are married and each family eat their own dinner with the rrespective family. dor weekend most of the time, we eat breakfast and lunches together too. to me, amongst other things, the family that eats together stay together and also pray together. isnt this great. in the midst of family togetherness, God is with us too, watching over us, his children.

Yes, whenever I am at hometown (back from my studies), I will have my dinner with my family which is a must. My dad insisted on this and we have been doing this for as long as I can remember. We always have dinner together and everybody must be back home by then

My life has the same routine everyday. Every morning I go to work, and I will go off work at 5:30pm. After that, I will go home. Sometimes I will buy something from the supermarket or the department store. But soon I will go home to have dinner with my family. Having dinner with my family is so important. I seldom miss it. I love China

I have two teens at home. Dinner time can be a struggle but we try to always have dinner together. It is one of the few times we are together at the same time and can talk about anything.
