When I was growing up, my parents always made it a point that we all get together every night and eat dinner at the table. It was always a homecooked meal, my mother was/is an excellent cook. We had to sit up straight, no elbows on the table, no reaching past other members for food, and ask to be excused from the table when we *thought* we were finished eating. If my parents wanted us to stay, we had to until they finished eating. Later when we were watching television- desert would be brought out on small trays and we would eat our desert in the family room.
Does anyone eat at the table anymore? Or is this a dying tradition?
