When you're eating at home (as opposed to eating out or at work) where do you usually eat? You can pick more than one if, for example, you eat breakfast in one place and supper somewhere else. Just curious.

I am a stickler for making everyone sit at the table and eat together!

Here's what got me wondering: when we were kids, and when MY kids were kids, all family members ate all meals at the table. There probably were exceptions, but I don't remember them.

It's just the two of us, and the only time we sit down at the table and eat is at noon. We both stand at the counter and eat breakfast. We don't have a real supper/dinner, we just snack in the evening. Bob sits in his recliner in front of the TV, and I am usually at my computer AND in front of the TV.

Once in a blue moon, I'll sit at the table and snack, if I'm eating something sloppy or reading a magazine. Either way, we never eat breakfast or the "third meal" at the table. We're weird.

I usually eat in the bedroom with Jim. We have adjustable beds so we sit up and eat together. Or, sometimes when he's too busy fighting off the Russians in his newest xbox game, I eat in front of the living room tv.

When the kids were young we weren't traditional. We all ate in the living room. That dern dining room table was the mail collector. So, we're weird.

We have what I guess is called an eat in kitchen? Dining area is on the other side of the kitchen counters. I only eat there, not able to walk well enough to try carrying a plate of food or drinks around.

4 levels to our house, main level, kitchen, full bath, eating area, and living room, most of my time is spent on that level to avoid the stairs.

We usually eat our dinner in the living room watching the TV. Nowadays though, I spend a lot of time in my bedroom (it's the most comfortable room in the house as I have my bed and laptop there so can relax and lay down whilst on the laptop!) so I sometimes eat my dinner upstairs in bed or on my computer desk. Our family has never really been one to eat dinners at the table, i'm not sure why. If we have our dinner at my grandads though, his wife always makes us eat dinner at the table and I don't really like it that much.

Great poll - thanks!

We don't own a table (just finished a renovation) but I would like to think if we did we would eat there. Right, that ain't gonna happen, no tv for the bf means he would have to talk to me.

Mail collector, school books, boxes of DH's old office stuff, the Roomba is charging under there somewhere.... in other words the dining table is a filing cabinet! SO much so we just closed off the dining room and it is now the junk room.

In the daytime, I eat in front of the computer reading news or emails. At night, we all eat on different schedules... so it's usually the recliners in front of the TV in the family room. We usually eat breakfast together at the kitchen table on the weekends.

My selecting eating sitting in the living room wasn't realy the whole truth. We usually eat out so most of my meals are eaten sitting at a table it just isn't at home! I'm trying to do better and fix more meals at home.

In my house we set the table and sit down to eat all our meals.

We lived with my cousin when we first moved states last year, and she was astounded that I was setting the table to eat there every evening. As it wasn't our house, we ate breakfast and lunch either at the breakfast bar, or at the kitchen table, but I always set the table in the dining room for our evening meal.

They always eat off their knees, so in the end she told me she didn't want us to eat at the table anymore because she didn't want to get any fingermarks on it. A rather unusual reason for not using the table I thought!

I even bought table napkins when we first moved in with them as that's another thing we always use, but they never do.
