Does/Did Your Family Eat Meals Together?

[lizbud]

I eat, and the dogs stare, does that count?

LOL that's the way it is here too. Did your family eat together when
you were growing up?

My children are now grown & flown the coop, but when they were still at
home we all ate together at dinner time. I loved having us all together.

as a child, my birth family ate dinner together, until my parents divorce, it was always at the table after dad got home from work, a meat, 2 vegs and potatoes. girls cleaned the kitchen and washed the dishes. in high school, the rules of home loosened, and it was a hot dish in the oven, eat as you came with sports, jobs and so forth.
now, i cook almost every night, a protein, a starch and a veg. on sunday, a dessert, if no dessert, popcorn with tv. we eat at the table, cloth napkins, placemats, china. sunday am, i make a large breakfast around 10. i have happy memories around our tables.

One thing that we are particular about is that Tyler MUST sit with the family at the table until everyone is done eating. It just seems rude to get up before then, you know?

Wish my husband would learn that!
When we eat at the table, he scarfs his down and runs off while I'm still 1/3 done. It drives me NUTS.

When I was growing up, my dad worked late.
I remember we would all have dinner together
together on the weekends.

As an adult I tried to have dinner together.
(I think it is a nice tradition)
