non-clicky poll - how often do you eat at the table?

We eat dinner at the table. ... maybe 4 nights a week. 

I'd like to do it more consistently, but eh, some nights I'm just tired and it feels dumb to set the table etc. just for everybody to rummage around and eat leftovers or cereal.

Re: non-clicky poll - how often do you eat at the table?

  • Sometimes we sit at our coffee table and eat if there is something we want to watch on tv. Most nights we sit at the dining room table though, especially if we're eating something that is messy.
  • Totally guilty, but the hubs and I hardly ever eat dinner at the table. It's on my to-do list to start doing that!
  • We eat pretty much every meal at the table. I moved it from the dining room into the tiny kitchen, so we would use it instead of pulling chairs up to the bookcase. I don't really set it. We just sort of land there.

  • Every night. We'd only eat pizza in front of the TV before we had DD, but now she sits with us at dinner and eats herself. I want to get her in the habit of not eating in the living room.

  • Everynight. This was a NY resolution of mine a few years back - to eat dinner at the table.

    But...DH and I eat in shifts so one of us can keep an eye on DS, so there's no setting of the table or anything. And really, mostly we clear off a space, eat, then switch. The plan is to move DS's dinner back a little so all 3 of us can eat at the same time.

  • Every night...our kitching/living room/dining room all kinda flow together so it just makes sense and is easiest. Plus, that's where the high chair is.

  • Every night (also lunch on weekends), but our kitchen and dining room are pretty much the same room, so it's like 5 steps from where we prepare to our table.  Plus we dont' have a TV on that level so nothing to lure us away from the table

  • I would say 4 days a week.  Sometimes we aren't eating dinner at the same time DS is, meaning I am cooking something that won't be finished until after he is sleeping.

  • We eat every night at the table if Annabelle is with us, but if she's at my aunt's or with family, then we may eat at the coffee table.

  • Every Night, even when it's just me and the kids

  • If DH and I are eating dinner together, we sit at the kitchen table. 

    If we are eating separately because one of us had to work late, then we eat in front of the tv.

  • At least 4 nights a week. This will probably change to every night when this little one arrives and is "eating" with us.

  • Pretty much every meal. DD eats in her high chair while we eat. Our dog cannot be trusted to not steal food from a wandering child or beg excessively when we don't eat at the table.

  • 4-5 nights a week. If we're just eating take out or having a fend for yourself night, we're more likely to eat in the living room.

  • Pretty much every night that we are home.  We always have eaten at the table even though it's just the two of us.

  • Basically never. Only if we have guests and then maybe once every few months if it's just the two of us and we're having a date-night dinner with steak, wine, etc.
