We all eat together as a family, but depending on whether DH is on shift or not it may just be the kids and I though sometimes I will have a late dinner so we can all eat together when he's on dayshift (he gets home at 7.30) We have the telly off and the table is set- nothing flash, just cutlery and sauce etc. We never used to eat together as a family when I was younger though - there were too many of us to all get round a table LOL. DH's family used to eat at the table, but as they got older they got a bit slacker with it.
