When you were younger did your family eat dinner together?

yep. not every night but we tried to have a nice dinner together atleast once-twice a week.

HAHA! noo lol hardly

nope never. the only time we all sat a one table and ate dinner was when it was a holiday thing over a relatives haha that was it

We eat dinner together almost every night. Not around a table or anything, we are all on our computers/laptops or whatever, but it’s nice to prepare and eat dinner together.

My family only ate together on Christmas and holidays.

How come? Oh well. Soon you’ll have your own family to eat with!

That is true. The dining room table took a while to clean up and the table next to the kitchen wasn’t big enough.

Nope we dont eat together..

well i live in Australia and most people eat dinner together here.

my famaily ate dinner as a family when i was little, as i grew up i started takin it upstairs to my room and ate alone. and we dont eat together anymore. if you want to eat together discuss it with your partner and how much it would mean to you if he could just sit at the table instead of the computer when hes eating

Everyday. Although I communicate more with them now than I did when I was younger. Living together and sitting together doesnt automatically mean any sort of togetherness. But I do see what your concern is. You need to talk to him. Explain that you’d like his company while you ate. Start it off with the cooking. If you can make the cooking together into a fun ritual, the eating will come automatically. Explain that for an hour a day you’d like his attention. Dont make it about having kids one day. Make it about wanting to have meals with him now.

Eating together is an important ritual. He can always make time to work on the computer. But it is the time spent sharing a meal with a loved one that is incredibly important to life. Years from now we wont remember the time spent finding a funny viral video but rather the conversations we had with loved ones.
