Show of Hands

Well people who aren't near family don't really count I am talking about the people who are near their family every day but don't sit with them for some excuse which isn't really an excuse

I'm in college. I have no family here.. Or even a table or chair to sit at. Sooooo no

Those who don't have time MAKE time your family is more important than anything else

we eat in the living room

Wish I did.

We did up until about 3 years ago

I do 80% of the time why don't the rest of you

To busy with dance which is 4-5 ours on Monday Wednesday Thursday sunday Saturday and basketballs dunday and Saturday and soccer Thursday tuesday and Saturday

never do

I eat with at least one family member pretty often, but it's unusual for us to eat at the table.

If the one or more of the low class/income members of the family are working durning dinner time how can they enjoy family dinners?

Come home, eat dinner alone in my room, and then do other junk. Like a bro

Every night. I am married with two kids. We have to make an effort. It is very worth it.

I eat at home and with my family, but not always at the table.

We only eat together on holidays.

That's sad most of America eats alone.Me I eat with my family.

very sad results...

very sad results...

we eat at home, at the table, as family most nights. it is difficult to make that happen sometimes, but it is it worth it to the kids.

I said yes- but I'm single!
Growing up- you were on time to eat with the family (unless you'd gotten permission to eat at a friend's) or you went to bed w/o dinner!

At home with the family... yes. Table? Does the coffee table in the living room count?

Families that eat together, stay together.

My family has rarely ate at the table together. And sometimes we eat late around 9.

At home. In front of Tv. Can't get my husband to eat at the table.

Unfortunately my fiancé and I do not own a dining table be we do eat together most nights.

Sad results. Every night my two kids, roommate and I eat dinner. No phones no tv no radio. Just the simple conversation. It's important for children to learn the art of conversation. It's lost in text and facebook and any other reason to not talk.

We eat at the tables in the living room.

We all eat at same time but kids eat at dinner table, hubby and I eat in our room. Love tv trays!

Gosh, this is kind of sad percentage wise. We actually eat at the kitchen counter, but we're together at home.

No, I eat on the table but, at different time than my family

I eat at home with my wife but our apartment doesn't have room for a dinner table.

Ya

most nights yes. January ate at work all but a couple days. busy month.

We used to, but my wife works 8a-2p (leaves at 713a) and I work 330p-1a (leave at 230).

Yes

we eat together almost every night (except when I work late) but we dont have a table.. we eat on tv trays. but the tv is never on.. we put on music and talk

Yep and it's one of my favorite times of the day!

Everyday with my wife:)

Nope

One meal a day not usually dinner though. Husband works nights and isn't here at dinner time during the week.

In the living room

When I lived with my parents it was a must. Now that im living on my own and busy all the time with no family living with me, I never do.

Practically every night

Maybe once a week. They always have stuff for my brother and other days I have stuff to do

I don't like eating at my table.

nope, my family is not like that

Although we do go out to eat often, the hubby and I eat at home at the table together far more often.

this bunch of bean eaters of a family I got. Married a Honduran. It is bean, corn, tortilla and rice every day. Love it. so do the kids.

Well since I'm at college I don't eat too often with my family. But I do eat with my friends.

I told my husband that we will always eat as a family. I grew up with a family dinner every night and I refuse to change!
