How often do you eat at the dinner table vs on the sofa for “tv dinner”, and do you have kids?
My DP and I have no kids and we eat on couch in front of TV a lot and I am starting to dislike it. It feels lazy and boring and like a bad habit.
When we went to visit his parents I realised they eat all meals on the couch with the tv constantly on and I see where he gets it from (and was slightly horrified as this would never happen in my family!).
I would hate this to be our family norm in the future so I am trying to break the cycle now and get us into the habit of sitting at dining table to eat dinner. Maybe have a Friday night “tv dinner” but have this be intentional and a fun treat rather than the default.
But I am curious about what other people do and whether I am being needlessly old school on this?
Would you say you have the majority of meals at dining table/kitchen island/couch? Where do you eat breakfast?
Did this change when you had kids?
Where did your own family eat when growing up and is this reflected in what you do?
