Around the table

Sooo..I was chillin outside with a friend of mine around 6-6:30pm when she got up and said she had to leave for dinner. I was kinda shocked because i didnt think that many families still sit around the table for dinner...My family used to, but it stopped. And when it did, I noticed a big change,referring to how close we were and how distant we are now.Now that I live with my father (and he's usually at work) we dont sit and eat together. Now after homie came back, we got into this discussion on how a lot of families dont sit down and talk like they used to and that's why so many black families have been and are falling apart...I wanted to know,do you guys still sit around the table and actually have conversation with your fam?or does everyone go off and do their own thing??and do you believe families grow apart because of this?

Once, MAYBE twice a week. Twice a week is very rare. Normally my moma make us come eat as a family :evil:

I never sit around and eat dinner unless im at my aunts house (my 2nd home). Then we at least eat in the same room and talk n stuff. When im at home we all eat at different times. The food ets cooked then we eat when we want

We dont... nobodyz really home... On Saturday we might eat together after chuch.. then itz like 20 people at tha house.. so itz not like a family dinner setting

in my house, everyone does their own thang....the only time we eat as a family is Christmas or Thanksgiving or if we all go out for someone's birthday...

we try to, but everybody get they own schedules, especially in the summer. we do have family meeting/prayer every night where we talk about stuff. we just started it a few months ago but it's helpful. i can get stuff of my chest to my family. i think it's important for families to spend some time together everyday even if it's only 10 minutes.

I've never sat at the table and ate dinner with my family
