We try to most nights, but DH sometimes works past bedtime so it doesn't happen every weekday. I usually eat with the kids and DH eats while we catch up about our day(s). We almost always do on the weekends at least!
-
We always eat together when DH isn't traveling.
-
We try to eat together at every opportunity.
-
Never on weeknights. Some nights I end up eating 1.5 dinners! I try to keep LO company and end up eating. Then I eat again when DH comes home..... W always eat together on Sat and Sun.
-
Almost always. Tonight it's just me and the girls but most every night we all eat together.
-
Always! It's one of my best memories from my childhood too.
-
Yep unless DH works late. Most often he's home at 5 and we eat at 530.
-
No, DH and I work opposite hours so I'm on my own with DS most nights and weekends.
-
We try, but once or twice a week I have class and/or meetings that run late, so DH and LO will start or eat without me.
-
Except for Tuesdays and Thursdays when he works late.
-
Except on Friday nights, when we get takeout after B goes to bed.
-
Yes, we always eat family dinner together.
-
As much as possible. A couple of nights a week DH gets home at 8, so those nights it doesn't happen.
-
Rarely. DH isn't home for dinner, but I eat with the kids.
-
Rarely. Dh gets home after dinner time. I usually have a few bites of what I give her and eat dinner after both kids are asleep. I try to have at least one family meal all together on the weekends.
I eat breakfast and lunch with LO every day though. I wish Dh could be home by dinner for a lot of reasons but can't happen for now.
-
We strive for at least one family meal a day. I SAH with DD and DH has a unique schedule - sometimes 8a-5p and sometimes 1p-10p. On the 8-5 days we all eat dinner together, on the 1-10 days we eat breakfast and lunch together.
-
Yes, every night. We also eat breakfast and lunch all together on the weekends.
-
Just on the weekends. Week days DH and I cook after she is asleep. Works better for us.
-
I work through dinner a couple of nights a week, but when we are both home we do.
-
Most of the time. Sometimes, I'll eat with dd1 first if DH is running late at work and she is too hungry to wait for him. I work late on night a week as well, so it's just DH and dd1 then. On the weekends, we always do.
-
Always unless he has a late meeting or event.
-
Most nights. We usually eat at 6. If DH is going to be late then I feed the kids earlier, like 5:30 and we put them to bed early and eat after they go down. That happens on average 1-2x a week. Some weeks not at all, other weeks 3x.
-
Not lately. DH has been working late and the baby has been going to bed early so most nights it's just DD1 and I
-
No because DH works 24 hr shifts. I always eat with DD1 and if DH isn't working, we eat all together.
-
Yes, we do!
-
When DH isn't working, yes. But if he is, I eat dinner with just the kids. He's not home until past their bedtime about 2 nights a week.
-
Not every night but most nights. Probably 5 out of 7 we do.
-
We do. I wasn't sure it would happen but most nights we eat dinner as a family. If I had to quantify, the last time we didn't was probably November.
-
Yes, always!
-
Only about half the time. DH works late fairly often, so he eats closer to when DS is going to bed those nights. Dinner is between 5:30 and 6:00 and we eat when it's ready, whether he's home or not. I'd love for everyone to be home at the same time every day for family dinner like I had growing up, but his schedule doesn't always allow that.
-
Pretty much, yup!
-
Yes, we always have them. The only exceptions are if I'm out of town but then he will eat with her so it's still family dinner.
-
No, D works a different shift and is very rarely home before DS goes to bed. I eat with DS, though, and usually my mom eats with us, unless DD has just fallen asleep with her and then we take turns eating. We all usually eat together on the weekends.
-
Always! DH usually is making dinner when I get homes I'll take DD from him so he can finish and then we eat together!
-
Yes, but most of the time it is in front of the TV!
-
yes, but often in front of the TV............
-
We didn't when it was just DS1 as it was much easier to feed him and get him ready for bed and eat afterwards. When DS2 came along and I was on leave, we started eating as a family and really loved it. It's crazy stressful to pull it off every day but I really see a positive change in DS1 so we'll make it work for as long as we can.
-
Yep, I'm big on family meals and DH starts and finishes early so he's usually home in plenty of time for dinner.
-
During the week, it is usually just DS and I. Since DS eats really slowly, he is usually still eating when DH gets come. On the weekends, we eat together.
