Me and my husband are TTC are first child. We had a discussion today about eating around the dinner table as a family. I personally pictured this with our children as someone important. A time just to eat and talk about our days a bonding time I guess. Now me and my husband just eat in front of the tv. The first thing he does when he gets his dinner is look for something on tv then starts eating. Even sometimes if I start talking to him about something he will pause the tv and stop eating, he will listen but then will say he just likes to watch tv when he eats and wants to wait until after he’s done eating to talk.

This kinda frustrates me and I told him when we have kids we will sit at the dinner table to eat with no tv. Some days I don’t mind sitting in front of tv to eat maybe to watch a movie as a family. But most days I would like it to be a time to talk about our day.

Is eating dinner around the table to talk important to you or not?
