...do you eat at your dining table?

I'd say I'm at about 0.5 at the moment and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

(Ignore thread if you don't have a dining table)

I've actually moved all the chairs to my spare room.

I think I'm heading that way.

Eating at a table seems so old fashioned now.

I'd say 6 but it depends on where we are at weekends.

It's a great way to communicate with the family.

One of the few times everyone has a mutual focus (food).

We have Craig Charles Funk and Soul show on the radio and talk at supper.

0.5-1.0 times per week on average. Usually at weekends, under duress.

Got a breakfast bar in the kitchen I use most of the time.

Once or twice, mainly as I can see the tv if the cricket is on. Normally I eat at the kitchen table.

5 or 6. It,s the done thing.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Roughly three. Although in the summer we often eat in the garden at weekends.

As I work late I tend to eat in the kitchen on weekdays long after the kids have eaten.

When both the kids were at home I think we ate every night at the table but now it's only when we have a Sunday lunch so I'd say about twice a month.

Yeah, we usually eat at kitchen table/island - we're well middle class.

Though at this time of year actually eat outside in the garden.

At least 6 but usually around 8. We even make our son sit up the table to eat even if he is the only one eating (we sit with him!) one of the things that we make sure of is family time at the table with no other distractions maybe just a radio on in the background.

Not often. If we have guests.

If I had kids it'd be every night though.

Family eat together at the dining table every night and breakfast when we can. Never ever eat in any other rooms

It seems strange to me that having children is considered to be a reason to eat at the table more.

Fair enough if you do enjoy that or it's the only area of the house you can all practically eat a meal together - but if you can all fit on sofas or around the kitchen and that's where you would prefer to be, why would you get them to do something that's not what you want??

A strange world we live in.

But I wouldn't prefer to eat on the sofas, that is odd.

Dining is better in a dining room. You don't go to a restaurant and eat off a tray on your lap.

There really isn't enough on tv to ruin a meal for

I don't know what everyone else's dining room chairs are like but I just look at mine sitting there with a rigid wooden back and think "Sitting there isn't going to be the most comfortable place I could eat this food".

I might sell the table and get a few dining beanbags to go in its place. Could then still get the main social aspect positives by eating in the room but it won't feel like I'm in the 20th century.

14!

I have both breakfast and dinner at the table - apart from when we eat outside on the patio in the summer. Breakfast by myself, dinner with Mrs V, every day. We made a point when the children were at home of having dinner together every day, unless some activity prevented it. This was our catch up time, family time when we had no TV, mobile devices and we didn't answer the phone. Was really important to us as a family to have this time together.
