Do you?
In this time and day with all of life's crazyness and choas. Do any of you guys particpate in the life long ritural known as having dinner with your family?
I was just talking to some friends during lunch and out of the four I talk to and I found out that nly 1 of them have dinner with their family daily and 2 if you count me. Have life just gotten so busy where a family can't come together for at least 30 minutes everyday to enjoy one meal and each other company? Tell if you have dinner with your family |
The only time we gather at the table is to celebrate Thanksgiving or on a rare occation when a very decent meal is made.
|
haha, my family never did the dinner at the table thing... I don't want to talk to them, they don't want to talk to me. Simple as that.
|
i am proud to say that my family...eventho it's REALLY small...we both eat dinner together. almost everyday. ^_^ ik most of my friends' families hardly talk together,not alone eat a meal in eachothers company.
|
Everyone is my family is already adults (technically) and we all have jobs, we have schooling we have to pay for. When you're 10 or 12 or something, it's good to have a family meal. But it's just a by product of getting older...
|
We have for eight or so years; ever since we moved in to our current house. I used to find it incredibly awkward, but I gradually felt comfortable doing it, though now I am finding it somewhat awkward again as our family drifts farther and farther apart; there tends to be little conversation and much visible tension at dinner. Long ago, we used to eat on trays in front of the television, and I am almost wishing that we did that again; though for all of us to be in the same room would still bring the tension that I would like to avoid by no longer eating at the table. We all have rooms, and they're comfortable, so we might as well eat there.
|
We do almost every night. You see, my parents are usually home, and my little brother and I are anit-social. We're always home. Therefore, our family always has time to eat together. It's odd when we aren't eating as a family, acutally.^^;
|
Thanksgiving. That is the only I will ever be seen at the dinner table with my family. Otherwise, I am in my room or at someone else's house while the rest of the family has dinner.
|
Nope, I think we might have done it a total...three times. When I was younger, I was usually the only one home until late at night, I never really felt like waiting for anyone else. When people were home...we just didn't do it.
|
Sometimes. I love my family and they love me back, but at dinner my mum and dad have to eat dinner earlier cos my dad has work at night, and me and my bro eat together for dinner. And on common occasions we do eat together and watch Family Guy at the same time lol
|
I do on the weekends and special occasions.
|
liek 6 times a week O.o; :P
wow you people really need to spend more time with your familys |

From birth till 5th grade, I'd have dinner with my grandparents. My parents were there every so often to have dinner with us.
Now we're in a new house, my grandparent's in their own. My parents still don't have time. When they do have time, I don't usually participate. Not like they can get me to talk a lot. |
I have a nice dinner with my parents except I usually go in my room to eat. Hence why I'm on PC, stuffing my face full.
But my parents aren't a price either. They have a freaking tv right on the bar that we eat at, it's ridiculous. But during holidays I eat with the family. |
I see we have a wide range of responses.
I mean my family do eat family together with the TV in the kitenin on the soups. The only time we don't eat together is like when my mom rarly works late or when I have to stay late for school. Then I stuck eating alone. Then the some saturdays where dinner is on your own becasue dinner was 5:00 early and Toonami is on. But basically dinner is with the family with talking about something like the soup that on or what ever. |
only on saturdays, it's the only time the family's complete and at the table together, I don't like it much, i don't even look like I'm from the familyXD*faints*
|
Errr... yes - like three times in a week. xD But with my extended family - only on holidays like Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years... etc. o.o;
|
I do eat dinner with my family all together, well I used to until last month. Ever since I got myself a new job, I haven't been home for dinner except on Wednesdays and Thrursdays. But on those two days, we all eat as a family... minus my sister because she doesn't eat food. XD
|
We allways eat dinner together, though no one talks when eating and just watches the telly (at the table yes) O_O
|
I eat dinner with my family on weekends,cause tha's when me parents don't work.On weekdays,they're work make them come back late,so I'd already have dinner by the time they come back.
Though,I do take a little time to talk to my family everyday.And sometimes,when I'm really lucky,me parents'll come back from work early.^^ |
I always have dinner with my family, unless im not in the house, or have friends over when their having food.
|
Sometimes we do but not very often. ^^;
|
| All times are GMT -8. The time now is 6:00 PM. |
