Do you find that instead of sitting down to a family meal where everyone cordially recounts the adventures of their day and always says "please" and "thank you" when passing the salt, you're grabbing a snack on the way out the door to the next soccer practice/school function/therapy session -- and choking down a healthy serving of guilt? Apparently you're not alone. Ok, we all know sitting down with the whole family can be a great way to connect -- studies have shown that kids who sit down to frequent family meals are less likely to be at risk for drug use or depression. Even so, getting your family around the same table at the same time is a lot easier said than done.
Are family dinners worth the hassle? Discuss.
What do you think -- is family mealtime an indicator of your family's cohesiveness? Or is sitting down at the dinner table a tradition that's gone the way of the 8-track tape? Let me know what you think and then head over to the Guilt Graveyard to bury your mom guilt for good.
