#Family #Dinner Night

When I was young, my family had dinner together every night unless someone was out of town.  Once in a while, dinner was late because of a soccer game, or babysitting, or a meeting, but even on those nights, we came together at the kitchen table and had a family meal. 

The experts tell us that the multitude of programs we enroll our children in, and the extreme business of American life today may not be good for us.  They also say that stability is.  I find that although I didn't appreciate them for the gift they were at the time, I am enormously thankful for the gift of time that my parents gave my sister and I each night. 

I find that although I am adult and single now, I have created my own version of family dinner night.  A couple of friends come over on the same night each week.  I begin cooking as they arrive, and we share all the important details of our lives, just as my family did around the dinner table.  Often, they will help me cook, which my sister and I used to do when we were growing up (and is how we learned to cook). 

I think a lot of family values are shared in the family dinner night.  My sister and I learned that family is important; that it should be prioritized over the other things in our lives.  We learned about healthy eating and about cooking.  We learned about politics and religion though family discussion, but also about forming our own thoughts and opinions, because our parents believed that we should have them.
