As Super Grover and the Super Foods explain here, you feel closer together when you share a meal:
Do you eat dinner together with your SO?
-
definitely! we make sure we have dinner together
-
Definitely, unless he is working late.
-
Almost every night except his training and basketball nights. =) It's a nice time to catch up, laugh about silly things that happened and just to enjoy the company.
-
Yes, definitely. Sometimes it's the only chance we have to sit down together and talk about our day because he's so busy with work.
-
We eat together every night unless he has a hockey game or one of us needs to work late. Lately we've been eating in front of the tv but I really want us to start eating at the table to give us a better chance to talk.
-
Unfortunately, with our LO being so young (12 weeks) one of us is always juggling her around (she is never sleeping during our dinner time). So, the hubs will eat quickly, come hold the baby while I go eat quickly. It's rather sad. I used to value our meal times together before we had the baby. Hopefully when she gets a little older, she will be able to keep herself calm enough in a Bumbo while the hubs and I eat together.
-
We sometimes do, sometimes don't. We don't have the luxury of a set schedule when it comes to my husband's work. He's on call 24 hours a day and can work for anywhere from 3 hours to a 12 hour shift followed by 27 hours sitting in a hotel and 12 hours back home. I've made big meals then he gets called before I can get it on the table. He's really good at reheating the leftovers though.
-
When our LO was not old enough to sit at the table with us, it was rare that we'd get to eat together. .
When we're working opposite schedules, no, but when we're both home at the same time, yes. -
Yes! We don't always sit at the dining table though. We will once our LO gets a little older.
-
Yes, and always at the dinner table. DS is 10 months, and hangs with us in his high chair. Before that, he'd either be in his swing or on a playmat.
-
We do. Even if our hours have crossed and we can't eat together (like right now he's sick and I'm dealing with first trimester wonky eating habits) we sit down at the table together for a while to chat.
-
Yep! We eat at the table every night, no matter how busy we are. If he's working late, we eat late. We really value that time, even if it's only a quick 10 minute meal.
-
We eat together every night, but it's always in front of the TV. Once we have kids old enough to eat with us we plan on switching that up though.
-
We always eat together - usually at the peninsula in the kitchen, but occasionally at the dining room table (if I'm making something "fancy" or if the peninsula is too cluttered!)
-
We eat dinner together most of the time, but once January rolls around and we both get into Busy Season that won't happen for awhile. I usually cook every night and we sit down to eat and chat about our days.
-
We always have dinner together, except for the days I work. ( I work 12 hr shifts 3 days a week)
-
We didn't the first few months but we resumed eating dinner together once she was able to sit in her highchair without slumping (4-5 mos). Now that she's able to eat some table food, all three of us eat dinner together, something we'd like to continue into adulthood.
-
Yep! We always make a point to have dinner together. We try to eat at the table, too. We are getting in the habit of sharing 1) best part of our day, 2) worst part of our day, 3) what we're most looking forward to tomorrow, and 4) funniest part of our day. Hoping to continue this when we have kids, too!
-
We eat together every night, sometimes on the couch watching hulu or a movie, sometimes at the table. He grew up in a family that always ate in front of the tv and I grew up in a family that always ate at the table, so we do both. It's a time to be together.
-
This is the biggest area that I'd like to improve upon. Although my hubs and I usually eat dinner together, it's often while watching TV or something. I grew up with family meal time, so I know that when I have children, I want to have a real sit down dinner with them every day, just like I did.
When my best friend and her daughter come over for dinner though, we have sit-down dinners that my husband joins in on, so I'm thinking it won't be too hard to get him used to it with our own kids.
-
yes, we eat dinner every night together. unless he comes home late. then i just eat on my own.
-
Yep, dinner every evening and we do breakfast together most mornings as well.
-
Dinner is the only mealtime that we are together, so we try our best to eat together almost every night. The only times we don't are the nights that we each have plans with friends separately.
-
We eat together every night (unless one has plans with friends or etc). I get to come home to dinner waiting for me since DH gets home an hour before me
