Having Dinner as a Family

January 11, 2016 5:06pm CST
Growing up my family always ate dinner together. And on weekends we ate breakfast and dinner together. I appreciate the fact that I grew up that way. It helped me become a family-oriented and selfless person. I also learned how to cook

My family did the same as when I grew up. I hadn't done that in awhile until i met the woman I'm with today. She has great values, that being one.

I also grew up on the same setting when family eats together. It's the same thing I'm doing now that I have kids.

Having a meal together with others helps it to bring them to put differences a side for a little and bond.

When I was a kid, I always had dinner with my parents and sister. But now with our different schedules and erratic hours of work, it has become almost impossible.Now that you have started this post, I can see my home situation more clearly.

I live with my daughter and grandson now and we don't eat together. I live most of the time upstairs in my room and my daughter brings me my evening meal. A lot of reasons for this.

We lived like that too, but in my own family shared meals are rare these days

We always ate as a family when I was a kid. We did that as well as my kids were growing up, not anymore as one son is always as work and the other is away at college.
