Who eats first in your house hold ?
I grew up in a 2 parent household with both of my parents & younger sister. Generally, we ate together when we were younger. If my dad cooked, he ate last because he fixed everyones plate. If my mom cooked, she ate last for the same reason. As we got older, the rule still remained but we didnt sit at a table & eat together. We would either go in our rooms or hang out in the living room together. It honestly depended on how we felt.
When I moved out & started my own family the rules still apply. If I cook, I eat last. If my boyfriend cooks he eats last. Usually, my son eats in his room because he dont want to watch what we are watching on tv. (like who is really the parent here). Lately, I been enforcing the rule that we eat together as a FAMILY.
In my opinion, I feel like eating as a family is important. Its bonding time. Getting to know each other more. Ask questions and Spending quality time.
