When I was a kid, my family had dinner together every night. Very few exceptions were given - school events, sports commitments, or work were acceptable reasons not to be home for dinner.

So I'm wondering-
- How did your family have dinner growing up?
- How do you eat dinner now?
- If you haven't had kids yet but would like to someday, how would you like to see dinner served?
- What is your age, or what stage of life are you in?
- Where do you live and/or what is your culture?
