Do you have dinner at the table

[Bisch]

Just me and the wife now. We eat at the dining room table if we have company. We eat at the kitchen island when it’s just us.

Yup every night unless I’m not home due to work or hunting. And most weekends we do breakfast each morning together, wanna enjoy those moments together.

We try but fall short most of the time. Between the 3 year old and 7 month old we’re lucky if we actually get to finish dinner

No, we haven’t eaten at the table in ages. Well I can’t say never as once in a while we will, but it’s super rare. Just my wife and me now most days. We do have a big table on the deck out back that we will eat when the kids and grand kids are here when the weather is nice.

Growing up, the dinner hour was sacrosanct in my family and you only missed it if you were on your death bed. We all ate dinner together at a set table...no television, no phone calls, and no one left the table until 1) everyone was finished eating and 2) the chef was complimented and thanked.

When I had kids of my own, we did the same thing with them. Your presence at the family dinner table was required. No television, no cell phones, and no one left the table until....etc., etc.

That one hour of time, sitting at the table with your children, is when your children become socialized. To me, it's very obvious when I meet someone who did not grow up breaking bread around the table with family.

yes. every day. My favorite time. What i find funny is when kids were younger they were always quick to leave. Now they are 17 &19 and they sit and talk well after we are done eating. It is awesome.

We do a couple of time a month. My daughter is in college so my wife and I enjoy our meals on the couch watching Jeopardy together.

These comments are refreshing to read...sadly, not many families do this these days. We just had a discussion last night at my in-laws while eating dinner, that when my sister-in-law and her kids get moved up here in a few months, we will be gathering as a family once or twice a week, and everyone will trade off who fixes what each week. One week my wife and I will provide the meat, sis-in-law will do the veggies, and mother-in-law will do dessert, and rotate each week. Followed up by a family devotion mid week with all of us participating in some way (teaching, singing, etc). I’m looking forward to it more family time is needed across our nation now than it has ever been needed. I believe it’s a large reason why parents have no idea what their kids are being taught in school, who they’re hanging out with, etc...they aren’t spending quality time with their kids

Every night that I'm off. I generally cook and make plates, 2 oldest make drinks, set table, wife chases the little one until time to sit down and eat. Pray, eat, everyone picks up their own plate, oldest kids alternate dish duty.

Every night, even if I’m at work. We take turns praying, and if someone gets caught sneaking a bite before, they say prayer no matter who’s turn it is. No phones, no toys.

As the head of the household it's a requirement at our house. You either eat at the table or you don't eat.

Absolutely. My wife is a ridiculously good cook. We each rotate through saying the prayer, talk about the day, and thank mama for cooking. No electronics allowed. Then you ask to be excused or wait until everyone is finished, rinse your plate, put in dishwasher. I feel like this is a special time for my family almost every day. It gives us a few minutes together and helps or kids realize the importance of God, family, and basic responsibilities.
