Dinner is our only meal together during the week. We all sit at the dining room table (the only table). No tv, no phones, no distractions. I only make 1 meal, if you don't like it, too bad for you. lmao We don't offer dessert as a usual thing, it's more like a treat on rare occasions around here. I rarely make meals that are disliked (Jenna has a dislike for rice, but she will eat it).
I do serve the kids milk, but meal time is the only time they get it. And they all like it. They each get half of a glass full, and can have more after they have eaten at least half of their meal. Des and I are both lactose intolerant, so we don't drink it.
I am very thankful my children will eat just about anything put in front of them!
Breakfast - the kids eat at the table together, I eat in the living room at the computer (I am not a morning person, and they are too loud for me in the morning). Lunch - the middles eat at school, Des & Quin eat before I get home from work, so I eat alone after I drop Quin off at school - on no school days, we usually eat together, informally, at the table. Lunch is usually whatever the person wants, I don't care if it's 5 different things, they get to make it themselves (Quin gets help, of course).
