Every night? Kind of. But Friday nights, while having Pizza and Movie Night? Absolutely the best!

I'm not sure if trashy is the right word, but I think it's not a great idea and something that should be very rare.

Totally. We still do it from time to time (the odd Friday night takeout after the kids go to bed).

I don't own a table/chairs and don't have space for them anyway. DD and I eat all our meals either on the way to school/work or sitting on the couch.

Again, what if you live alone? 27% of Americans do.

What does it matter if you're in the comfort of your own home?

Um yes. Dinner + TV = Appalachia style white trash.

No. If you don't like to do it, then don't.

That's what we did. I want to teach my kid the proper way to eat, etc. Without the distractions.

Well, then, that's another matter!

Is it trashy to have dinner in front of the TV? How do you have dinner?
