I would love to have dinner with the whole family every night, but unfortunately, hubby works late. However, our solution is to religiously share breakfast together and it is now one of my favourite times of the day xCybele @ BlahBlahhttp://www.blahblahmagazine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9206081300956507736.post-50566395244275116362013-04-19T18:53:06.458+10:002013-04-19T18:53:06.458+10:00We eat breakfast at different times as I am a nurs...We eat breakfast at different times as I am a nurse and often eat and run before anyone else is awake. Lunches are in different locations midweek with school and work but we sit together for lunch at weekends and 7 days a week we eat dinner at the table. The girls are teenagers now so of course they occasionally eat at a friends house or a friend joins our table but we never serve separate meals at separate times. I also have a rule against anyone taking their meal to eat in front of a computer or at a study desk. Meal times are a time to take time out and reconnect. We are a strong family unit and I believe eating together is the glue that keeps us together. I don't judge families who eat separately as I know with shift work must come flexibility but for those who eat separately while under one roof I think they might not realise what they are missing.

We occasionally eat together in front of the telly.

When Dora's older, I know it's something we will do.Kaz @ Melting Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178176300022588861noreply@blogger.com
