Do you think its important to eat round the table ?
Answers: I'm a HUGE believer in this... although time and schedules conflict, and it's not always possible to do it EVERY night, I think at least 3-4 times a week it's important to sit together, chit chat about your day, and enjoy each other's company. We all take turns saying grace prior to our meal, and it's the cutest thing when my seven year old thanks God for food and family... priceless moments found only at the dinner table! :) yes and no....they say family time around the table is great and thats a great place for everyone to gather and talk and tell bout there day
BUT they always say dont talk with your mouth full of food so I DONT KNOW what do you think. whenever possible, it brings the family together and establishes a routine which is healthy for everyone in the family. it's a good thing to do when you want to teach your kids manners.. so they can behave in a respectful way when they arent at home sometimes it is nice, but me and my family rarely do. it is usually in front of the TV watching my kids cartoons after school. when I was younger, i hated eating at the table. it sucked with my family, but it can be fun if you talk about interesting stuff too. Its super important. I have a sit down meal with my family almost every night and we are extremely close. Its a good time to just sit down and share your day. Of course its okay to cheats sometimes and wathch tv on the couch but if you try to take the time out of a busy schedule to sit down, you will certaintly be the better for it. And this is from a child's point of view, so don't think that the kids hate it. Yes! When I was a kid we never ate together, my dad was in front of the TV, my mom worked evenings and I just ate in the den by myself. It creates bad eating habits and poor family togetherness. On Sundays we would all eat together, my sisters would come over and it was nice to sit at the table, talk and socialize at the table, it made me feel like I really belonged as a kid.
So now, with my family, we eat together. =) Absolutely, it's the only time each day everyone can gather together and share their experiences of the day. I belive it is an improtant family practice. yes-family time is always important Yes, especialy when there are kids at home.
It gives each person times to tell how their day was and it also monitirs table manners, so you know how they are behaving when they are out of sight. Not all the time. I prefer if my whole family is sitting in the living room. I would rather do other activities with my family then trying to have conversations at a table while trying to eat.
Family time does not have to be at meal time...there are many other ways to spend time and talk. at special occasions and family time yes lol i eat around the table most of the time though because thats family time for my family I would say yes. exspecially if you have children. It teaches them alot of manners and it gives you one on one eye contact with your family. It is very good because you also get to see what your spouse or children have been upto and just have some good old fashion family time. Without TV and other things yes very important time to talk and sharing your day with others
