How Important Is Family Style Dining?
My husband and I hardly ever sit down to a dinner table together when we are at home. Now that we have a baby, I want to start making meals at the table a regular part of daily life. My husband says that it doesn't make a big difference whether we're at the table or sitting in the living room as long as we're together. How important is family style dining?

Husbands should be at the table when dining. Even when you have don't have baby yet. You and your hubby should have time together at dining table. Now that you have a baby, it is very important for a parent to sit at the table while eating. The child will feel that he has a family that is close with each other. Start doing it now, or your child might look for another family or peer when he grow old.

It is important also. This is a basic table manner. I will satuate to you about my related experience with my son on this matter. We used to eat together and pray before and after meals. One day, my husband brought us (together with our son)to a lunch meeting. Since most of the peers are different religion, nobody started to make sign of the cross before meals. Then, my son questioned us, "Mama why are not we praying, we pray first before eating, right? So, as a result, some pray and smile. And compliment, Oh! that's good boy, we should pray first.
