I'm a single parent of two, and I am a real bitch about family being together at the dinner table. It simply is a "must do" at my house.

We have some kick ass conversations, covering all sorts of topics. Now and then, we make it extra special by doing a candlelight dinner.

I remember coming up and never knowing when my stepdad's backhand was going to knock you the fuck out of your chair for no reason when you were eating supper. I was on valium by the time I was in 4th grade, and had an ulcer shortly after that.

Discord at the dinner table is hell on the digestive system. ;)

Added to that, the world is too busy these days. Setting down together for a meal helps us reconnect. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
