Family Dinners

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

When i was growing up at my parents as a youngster, we always had a family meal every day, where we came together to sit around the table and talk to each other as a family.

This value has stayed with me to this day...myself and Mrs AS always where possible sit up the table and have a meal together in the evening, it is sometimes the only chance we get to tell each other about the day we have had. But we never ever miss out on having a Sunday Roast together, even if it is just the two of us.

I strongly believe that the "Family Dinner" is really important in bringing a family together on a regular basis, although this traditional family value seems to have slipped to the way side these days.

Do you as a family or even just with your partner sit down on a regular basis to a meal together??

9 times out of 10 me and Hils sit at the table when we are eating, had a roast at my Mum's today and we all sat at the table.

I think it is a really valuable time for families to come together.

Well I don't at the moment due to obvious reasons but as soon as Mrs MK gets her feet under the table we shall again.

I appreciate that there are scenarios where it is not possible but as you say....if the opportunity was there you would.

Always at the weekend and during the week if I am on earlies..Valuable time to spend with the wife and kids

 

[sufc_girl]

We do it pretty much every weekend. But even if we don't eat at the table in the week, we still all eat together. When I was younger we would sit at the table for dinner every night as a family. I think it's important as well, quality time together and all that jazz

Being as we generally eat at different times, not really. Special occasions and that, sometimes on a Sunday.

I think we have to move on as a nation otherwise the Chinese will eat us alive.

I like the idea or portable engineered nutrition such as Doner/mixed kebabs, Pepperamis and Scotch eggs which enable you to remain productive whilst you consume your calories and nutrients.

Morning Chaps,

I used to sit down with the folks for a Sunday scran, but now I've shipped 'em off to the rest home I can't be arsed.

Sitting around the table with mother letting rip her wall-quaking flatulence whilst father dribbles into his roast isn't my idea of fun. What makes it worse is one of the other old scrotes pulling up a chair and going on about the ****ing war or something.
I prefer to sit in front of my starving servants and gorge myself with cake..

Regards
