Family Meals

[BekZ]

We always eat our meals together at the table with the TV off. DH may not be at all meals though. DD1 is learning how to set the table and return her finished dinner plate to the kitchen. We ignore any phone calls because we believe that this time is our wind down and chat time.

My SIL and Stepbrother's family only have a roast on Sundays together because BIL gets home late and their kids eat super early. I actually feel really sad that they don't get much time together.

My family didn't eat together and as a family we ended up quite disfunctional. As a child I loved going to some of my friends' houses just because they had big families and they all ate together!!! I decided as a young person that my family would be like that some day
