Well we successfully completed two weeks of eating together as a family until today. In our defense we did eat lunch together after church but as the day progressed and my son finished his homework and my daughter put the finishing touches on her science project we all kinda lost track of the time.
My daughter ate left-overs and my husband pulled something out of the freezer. My son was so wrapped up in his video game he didn't pay attention to anything that was going on. When he finally decided he was hungry we prepared a plate for him and set everything up. "Is anyone going to eat with me?" I told him everyone had already eaten, but that I would sit with him. "You ate without me?" he then took off to his room and cried, quite loudly for fifteen minutes.
I sent hubby in after him and after some talking and reassurance that we did not eat, collectively, without him, he settled down and ate his dinner.
Moral of the story: No family dinners without all of the family!
