If you don't have kids, or before you had kids

[Bernadine]

Where did you eat dinner?

We eat in front of the tv every night.  That's terrible, isn't it?

[waffletime]

If it is, I'm terrible right there with you.

[snowflurry]

We have always eaten at the kitchen table. Both sets of our parents instilled that in us growing up and we just naturally fell into that same pattern.

[lilybug]

Same. I started sitting at the table to eat when Declan was old enough to sit in a high chair and eat solids during dinner time.

[blueballoon]

If it's wrong, I don't want to be right. I eat most meals on the couch.

[chedominique]

We ate in front of the tv too but only because we had a card table for a dining room table. Since we upgraded last month, we now eat in the dining room unless our show is on.

[iamgrace]

In front of the TV unless we had guests. Sometimes outside if it was nice.

Eta- we eat in the dining room or outside if it's nice. I make a point to never eat in front of the TV now that we have kids.

[BeagleMama]

At our dining room table (there is no kitchen table) but occasionally in front of the TV.

[rex]

50/50 table or couch pre-L.

now we always eat on the couch because we eat after L goes to bed.

I eat in front of the tv when DD's at her dad's. Horrible, perhaps. But IDGAF.

[speckledfrog]

We at on TV trays in front of the TV. I miss those days.

[pagas]

At the kitchen table.

[pantsparty]

We eat at the table, with the exception of Friday night, which is pizza night.

I wouldn't be able to cut my food without making a huge mess on the couch. It's also now pretty much the only time both of us are not looking at a TV, tablet, or phone. I'd kind of like to keep it that way.

[suzyp]

In front of the TV. I'm on the loveseat, he's on the couch. There's too much crap on our kitchen table! In the 6 years we have lived together, I think we have had 5 meals at the table - all holidays! LOL.

[wambam]

Usually, I eat at the computer and my H eats at the table. I'm trying to eat at the table more often.

[Jalapeñomel]

I still eat in front of the TV....but D goes to bed an hour before we eat.

[auntie]

Various restaurants.

Sometimes we eat dinner in front of the TV with the kid. He's 21 now and it's usually something like John Oliver or the Daily Show.

[TrickyBob]

We eat in the living room. When I first got our dinning room table, we gave it a shot. And we didn't know what to talk about with each other as we sat there, staring at each other, eating our food. lol.

[Bernadine]

I just texted him and said we should eat at the table tonight, and he was all "OMG, what's wrong?"

[sequins]

Most of the time we eat as we cook, lol. Rarely we eat in front of the tv.

[ECB]

Yup, in front of the TV. And I sometimes let DS watch TV if it's just he and I.

[pantsparty]

We never ate in front of the TV growing up. There just wasn't enough seating for 7 people on the couch, LOL. I'm sure that's part of why it would feel weird to me.

One thing is we ALWAYS have to have some music playing when we eat. Our Sonos was down once and it just felt soooooo awkward. LOL.

[CloudBee]

We've always eaten meals together at the table. DH grew up doing this with his parents, and I did not. For as long as we've been a couple, it's been important to us. But I know many happy families don't sit together, and that's fine. To each their own!

[Deleted]

Usually in front of the TV after DS goes to bed. H still occasionally eats standing in the kitchen.

[Bernadine]

I always sat at the table with my family, and we sit at the table when we have dss, but idk, we like to be tv bums when it's just us.

[So_Fetch]

coffee table in front of the TV.

[brighton]

We also eat on the couch with the tv. We keep saying we're going to change because we have a 20 month old.

[honeychai]

We went out to eat all the time.
It was our thing
When we were expecting our first we swore we'd still eat out at decent restaurants all the time. We were very, kids-won't-change-our-lifestyle. Lolololol

[FastHands]

TV. I was actually thinking the other day just how judge-worthy it would be if I set up DS's high chair in the living room once he hits that stage. heh

[cville]

In front of the TV. As god and nature intended.

Now we eat with the kids at the table, unless we're having a post-bedtime "stay home date," in which case we . . . eat in front of the TV.
