[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every night.  But, my kids are 7 and 10.  Might be different when in HS.  It's important to us to have dinner together but we wouldn't make a kid miss his soccer practice just to have dinner together.  I guess we are not as involved as some families in various activities.  Each kid has 2 activities most of the year.[/quote]

This is us exactly. Having dinner as a family is something I grew up with, even with divorced parents (i.e., mom and I always ate dinner together, and dad & stepmom & I always ate dinner together). Only exceptions were the infrequent party or sleepover at a friend's house. I liked the routine of it, even as a high schooler, and I want my kids to have the same togetherness. There are occasionally nights when an activity gets in the way, but if we [i]can[/i] make it work (even if it means dinner earlier or a bit later than "normal"), we do.[/quote]

Same here.  Kids are 7 and 12 and both into sports. Most nights we get home about 7 and eat at 7:30. I was super active in HS too it was just a priority for my folks and to me also. [/quote]
