I guess I never thought of it as being abnormal, but as I get older I know of so many people who don't eat as a family. Now, we have dinner every night as a family. I know my kids are young, but they will be learning very young to value this time as a family. No tv, nothing. Just eating and talking as a family. Great post Robin, I think more people should make this a priority. It has been proven to instill positive values in children.Michelle Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641964724198743746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338160373199392967.post-62673566897606478102008-04-10T23:53:00.000-06:002008-04-10T23:53:00.000-06:00We always ate together as a family when I was grow...We always ate together as a family when I was growing up. My parents didn't cook much, but we always went out together.

Looking bad, it wasn't to bad and we turned out okay. We had those conversations during those car rides! I do think it is important to have family dinners and unwind from the day and talk about the highs and the lows. Great post! :)K.M.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992199957047847768noreply@blogger.com
