Family eating together

It’s funny. Every time I go to my dad’s for lunch, we both sit at the table together, no TV or phones. I would have thought we would have grown out of that by now. Because you are right about that being what people do these days.

Pretty and I are eating dinner now. We're each in our own room. She's talking with her boyfriend online and I'm visiting with people on myLot. When we were both younger, we did eat meals together but stopped ten or more years ago.

I think it is important to eat together . . . we raised the kids to know and appreciate this too. In our daily individual busy lives, it is the time where all the family can meet, share, and enjoy each other's company.

We have always sat down together as a family during my 37 years of marriage. The only times that we didn't was when my husband had to work the afternoon shift, and then he would call me when he was in the cafeteria on his lunch break, and I would have my supper ready for when he called. When our son had soccer practice or games in town, we would sometimes eat out as a family at a sit down restaurant before the game. That time together is special.

Hubby and I still sit down to eat breakfast and dinner

When any of my family is together, we eat at the table. No phones or whatever. We actually converse and eat and spend a bit of time together. We always shared our meals together, it's a special time.

100% true!

It's not always that we eat together like other families. We eat anytime we want without need to wait for others

On my own i eat by my PC one hand on the keyboard and one with a fork,

It's just me and hubby these days. We aren't sitting down to the table like we used to. We do take time every couple of months and sit at the table, drink tea and enjoy treats together.

meals were "sacred time" in my family. we would always wait for each other and when we're eating - there are no distractions. i hope to have the same tradition with my own family someday.

My Father studied in military school for a brief time. Well, he had a strict discipline when it came to timing. So , we used to have our breakfast , lunch and dinner together at a predefined time. It was mandatory to have the breakfast ,lunch and dinner together and not at different times unless there is a super duper reason. And well everything had a timing ,routine and order. That discipline did stick to me and well I too had that for a long time. There are times, I do out of way with odd times having food , especially when alone. However, I try to have that and with near and dear ones, I do have food with them and not alone. Well, it is fun to have food with others in company! Enjoy the day!
