We eat together at the dining table usually around 6. I cook every night. The choices are eat what I fix or don't eat at all. (yes, DS has gone to bed hungry a few times) You have to stay at the table the whole time or until you are excused. I am just hard core about it. The first couple of years of marriage, it use to drive my DH crazy. Now he is totally on board. I would say 1-2 times a month there are nights were I do "left over" night and we are more casual. Sometimes we eat at the bar in the kitchen or have a picnic in the living room. It doesn't happen much. We usually use the bar for breakfast and lunch.
