It was usually "family time" and we'd talk about our days. If we were sick or if Dad was working late we'd sometimes watch TV, but it wasn't often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/growing-up-did-you-eat-dinner-while-watching-tv#post-380320 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:55:00 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 380320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, only at the dining table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/growing-up-did-you-eat-dinner-while-watching-tv#post-380295 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:46:25 +0000 Smurfette 380295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never!

As we got older and everyone started making their own dinners (mom worked shifts, dad worked crazy hours, sister and I were in all sorts of extracurriculars) we would have the TV in the background. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/growing-up-did-you-eat-dinner-while-watching-tv#post-380240 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:25:49 +0000 chopsuey 380240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never.

The TV was always off and we weren't allowed to eat in the living room. (at least when we were small) As we got older sometimes my parents would allow us to eat in front of the TV, but it was rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/growing-up-did-you-eat-dinner-while-watching-tv#post-380202 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:09:32 +0000 Andrea 380202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we watched ET, too. Haha. I also remember watching Wheel of Fortune. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/growing-up-did-you-eat-dinner-while-watching-tv#post-380197 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:06:18 +0000 Pepper 380197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was growing up, my parents had the news on while we ate dinner. They always had a TV in the dining room or kitchen! My parents always watched Entertainment Tonight too... hearing the theme now makes me think of dinner time, haha. </p> <p>Did your family eat dinner while watching TV? </p>
