This question popped in my head when I was eating dinner today. Do y'all eat at the table for meals with your family? If you live alone do you still eat at a table?

My family never really ate together. We'd either eat at the bar counter in the kitchen or go our separate ways.

Now, I eat at the kitchen table with my laptop or the tv, because eating at a computer desk or couch is messy. In the mornings, I can watch the news while I'm eating my breakfast. Plus, it lets me take my time eating and separates "eating time" from "non-eating time" so I don't gorge on too much crap.

When I lived at home we always ate Sunday dinner round the table, and Christmas dinner (still do that)

As for now (I live with a friend) no. I eat in front of the TV.

Dinner we always eat together at the dinning room table. lunch or breakfast depends on the mood and the food.

Sunday dinner yes. Other times, more likely not - depends on the meal. Tonight is pancakes and we'll all sit at the table.

When the kids were young all meals were at the table. As they got older we often ended up eating in front of the TV.

We eat most of our meals at the table. Lunch is hit or miss. The only breakfast we eat consistently in pancakes on Sundays and we eat those at the table. Our son eats all his meals at the table.

Maybe 1/2 the time, I guess. Most suppers are eaten at the table, if we're both home. If I'm home alone, it's on the couch and out of a glass.

Generally we eat wherever, rarely at the "table" (which is actually our kitchen counter/bar thing because we don't have a table). We'll most likely eat in the living room.

95% of the time I eat while sitting on the couch.. cuz our table usually has business crap all over it.

At mom's house all meals are at the table.
