Do you let your kids eat in there bedroom or not?
My parets let me and my brothers eat in our bedroom or where ever. We had the freedom to eat when we wanted where we want to as long as we cleaned up after ourselves. The sane rules apply in my house now. We do know how to sit down at the table and eat.

When i was a kid my mom don't allow me to eat in my room because my room can easily track by the ants when there is falling food in my bed of my room floor. But now that i grew up my mom allow me because i can now clean the foods that falling in my bed and i now,i minimize the food that falling while i'm eating. I always eat my dinner at my room but when it lunch i always eat in dining room.

My parents never cared and we never had any bugs in our house. Its about how clean you keep your house. Its everyone's job to help keep it cleaned of course little kids won't. But my parents would help us vacuum the floor in our bed rooms but most of the time we always ate in the living room.

No I don't want my kids to eat in their bedroom (or bed).
We all eat in the kitchen mostly sitting at the table.
I don't want food or drinks in the bedrooms.

For me it doesn't bother me where my kids eat or drink as long as they clean up after themselves. Other wise they sit with mommy at there high chair till they know how of not make a messy with out a table of some sort.

I allow my youngest to eat in her room with certain things, but she has to be responsible to bring her dishes out and pic up any trash left behind. I don't allow her to eat dinner in her room or breakfast. But lunch with sandwiches are fine. She especially likes to eat popcorn or a bowl of ice cream in her room. I see nothing wrong with that.

I don't think it's wrong for any meal to be eat any where in the house. I can see certain foods with real little kids can be a problem depending on what it is. My have my daughter since she is a toddler sit in her high chair an eat but it can me in what ever room. Most of the time it's the living room with her toys. Shell walk up to her high chair and get food off of it since we sat it on the floor.

Well since we have a lot of people in our apartment our living room is now a room for someone. My mother doesn't really mind if we eat in our bedroom as long as we clean up after ourselves. It's easier for me as well because I'm eating while doing some work online and it just makes it more convinient for me. The only times now that we sit and eat at the table together are during holidays.

I don't allow them to eat in the bedroom, we were never allowed to eat anywhere else except in the dinning room or kitchen.

yes i do think that what is it that makes it necessary to eat only on a dining table.In my parents house we use to have all freedom of eating in our bedroom too, yes offcourse not creating a mess and cleaning when we are done.But now as i am married my husband insists on having food only on dining table and he wants our kids to follow the same.I am well ok with the dining table and its manners but some time you do want your home to be like home rather than having a feel of being in a formal restaurent..

Nothing wrong with kids learning manners. I learned manners the other way with freedom to eat where ever in my house others I'll eat at there tables out of respect that it's there home unless they say it's okay for certain areas. My husbands grandparents house it's in there dinning room because well there is a lot of little kids and they will make messages and theydont like messes. Us older kids we have the right to eat in the den at the coffee table as long as it's on a plant and we bring it back to the kitchen when done. My daughter eats at her little table because well she is 1 and will make a mess from time to time but she can't eat in what ever room we are in

I allowed my children to eat where and when ever they wanted. I am 56yrs old now and with the new understanding of how and when your brain registers whether you are full or not I know now that this relaxed rule isn't necessarily the best you can do for your child. If your child(ren) are prone to be over weight it definitely is not a good idea.
I now do not allow my grandchildren to eat any where except the table or at the table in the back yard when the weather is nice.
Since my children are over weight and my grandchildren are not I seem to think that the best you can do for them is to make them eat at regular times and at the table.

My daughter eats at her high chair. She won't eat any where there isn't a table or shell throw a fit. My little toddler is odd but what ever works for her. She knows when o stop eating and does t care for mess but not all kids are like that. Maybe her brother or sister will be the messy one.
