[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who skip or basically skip dinner, you don't eat as a family, I assume? Do your kids not notice you don't eat dinner?[/quote]

When you're over 50 (the title of this thread) your kids are teenagers and you're not typically sitting down to a family dinner because one has high school sports practice and the other has play rehearsal until 8.

Or, if you're significantly over 50, your kids don't notice that you're skipping dinner because your kids are at college in another state.[/quote]

Surely I am not the only family with teenagers still doing family dinners. I think it is even more important with teenagers. My kids open up while eating[/quote]

We do family dinner with 13 and 16 year olds every night.  It is the best time of the day!  No phones allowed and sometimes our kids even laugh.  :)  It sometimes means we are eating at 8:00 because we both work and there are various things going on.  I realize eating at 8:00 probably contributes to my weight gain, but the emotional closeness and the emotional wellbeing of my teens is way more important to me than how I look in a swim suit.[/quote]
