It’s the consummate Donna-Reed-esque image: the family, gathered around the table, ready to partake in a glorious evening meal… probably of some red meat and potatoes (it was the ’50s). Fast-forward a half-century: Mom’s working late; Dad has a business dinner; the kids are at play practice and a friend’s house, and dinner is taken to go. It appears in these busy times, that the family meal is going somewhat the way of the dinosaur. So, is the family meal still an important tradition?

What do you think? Is a meal time the best time to bond? Or do you think there are other, just-as-good ways to spend quality time with your family? Join the Momversation by commenting in our related forums:
