Just wondered how people who live as a family unit conduct their meal times?
We generally eat meals as and when and rarely eat the same.
For instance, my brother and I have just had stir fried chicken and veg. My mum has some peppers in the oven baking and is going to stuff them with something for her. Dad has a steak and kidney pie in the oven and will be eating it with peas, carrots and potatoes. Finally, my gran is currently making herself a ham salad sandwich - it's a good job the kitchen is a reasonable size!
The only time we really all eat the same is when we're having a sunday roast, or when we occasionally get a take away.
I must admit this does seem quite odd, but it does make planning things easy as you don't have to work around others. I have friends whose parents plan meal time with military precision and it makes it a real pain when they have to let their parents know days in advanced whether they will be home or not and whether they'll require a meal that evening.
