- okra. Cigarette smoke, old, new, and permeating a room, wafting from a balcony, etc etc. That I have so many chronic diseases. That I take so very many meds. Being cold. Anything too loud, but specifically non-classical music and the television.
@DCUKMod I am loving your commitment to meals a family together times. Enjoy your spoiledness!
@Debandez I almost laughed out loud when you said “covered in paperwork”. Long ago before kids we had that too! Then Mr ZF inherited a baby grand piano... instant table clearing! And I admire a person who can tolerate the (to me highly irritating) tv in the morning. Also, what I call supper is your dinner. Old family usage. Also, in parts of US, the noontime meal is dinner.
@Lamont D all right then! My eating-clock will never match yours, that’s for sure!
@Bluetit1802 I did raise my kids with the supper-at-table (with candles!!) and distractions didn’t exist at that time. Breakfast for them was of necessity at the table, but as there was only one bathroom there was no formality. I think they now both sit for a fair number of at-home meals. Going out was not part of their childhood lifestyle (as it wasn’t ours either), and none of us goes out more than a few times a year, usually if out of town family come visiting. I mostly don’t like restaurant food!
I think the family work schedule, because often set in stone, can dictate lots of meal behaviors. It sure has ours for our entire adult lives, and my childhood and teen years as well. And son and d-i-l. When other son has a job, same for him.
