Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
For lunch, everyone is pretty much out of the house, either at work or school during the week, so it's impossible to have lunch together.
For breakfast, we all leave the house at different times, so it's hard to coordinate the same time for that meal.
On the weekends, everyone wakes up when they feel like it most of the time, so we eat at random times. Even days when we spend most of the day together, breakfast is usually not together, and lunch varies depending on the day's schedule.

Nope. Occasionally on the weekends - but that's about it.

Only on weekends. Typically DD and DH wake up last minute so it's something on the go and I don't typically eat breakfast but coffee. Saturdays we will either typically grab bagels or go to a diner.

My kids and I eat breakfast most days together as we are all up at the same time. My husband does not eat breakfast.
If the kids are home for lunch time we eat together as well. Husband no since he's working but occasionally on the weekends.

My kids and I eat all meals together (we homeschool). DH can’t join us during the week because his work schedule is crazy. But during the weekend, we all eat our meals together. Though during “boys nights” which is a weekday night that my husband spends with the kids only, they often go out for activities and eat out, so that night I’d eat dinner by myself. I don’t mind at all actually since it’s “me” time lol!

Re: Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
None of us eats breakfast.
DD is never hungry at 7 am when she gets up for school, DH eats one meal a day and fasts 22hours (his meal is at night)
And I eat breakfast at like 10 or 11 or not at all
Lunch- DD is in school, DH is still fasting, and I eat (if I didn't have breakfast) while working.
So, no

We really aren't in a huge routine with meals. We are also not big eaters as a family.

No, we have jobs and DD goes to school. DD is the only one who even eats breakfast and she usually eats it alone in front of her kindle while we’re getting ready.
We will obviously eat together if we go to a restaurant on the weekends.

We eat lunch together on the weekends. DH does not eat breakfast. I like to eat as soon as I get up and DD eats whenever she gets up, so we don’t really eat breakfast together.

Re: Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
DH and I have breakfast together on Sunday mornings. We don’t eat breakfast any other days and life is hectic with work. But Sunday is rest day so we take the time to make an omelette and eat together

I eat breakfast with the kids every day…DH is usually gone by the time we all wake up.
We eat lunch together on weekends. If I don’t put a meal in front of my kids they’ll graze on junk all day.

Re: Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
It all depends on the day but this year my youngest had shortened school or hybrid and my husband was working nights so we could easily have lunch together and did.
I am not a big breakfast person but I do eat everyday to keep my immune system up. If we get bagels we might all eat together but usually kids sleep to noon some days and we all just do our own thing.
Life is very different when you have older kids and young adults living with you.

Same, although on weekends not necessarily - it depends on everyone's schedules.
We have jobs with traditional hours and none of us are morning people so there is no way we'd get up early for pancakes during the week like they do on TV shows. More power to anyone who is into that.
Even when we were both working from home we both generally worked through lunch anyway.

Same here.
Otherwise I’m out of the house before the rest get up. They then eat together.

Usually on weekends we'll all have breakfast together. I'll make pancakes or waffles one weekend morning. Lunch is whenever anyone wants it and we don't usually eat together.

Re: Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
Lunch is really not a big to-do for either DH or me on most days. We both tend to eat something small and quick. If we are on vacation, we often don't have full lunches, more of a quick snack wherever we're at around lunchtime.
As far as breakfast, we do eat that meal together on vacations. At home, we do once in awhile.

Re: Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
On the weekends we usually eat breakfast together- lunch it depends...
I'm also home with the kids during the week but I work from home so I fix them breakfast, do a little work, and then have my own. Same goes for lunch- I like to take my lunch break after they eat lunch so I can put my 2 y/o down for a nap and then eat lunch while he's napping.
ETA: It's literally the only way I'd get work done, especially since first thing in the morning is the busiest time. lol! I distract them with food a lot.

Re: Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
Everyone is always on their own for breakfast. On the weekends, we eat lunch together if we’re all free at the same time. That doesn’t happen too often because the kids do so many activities.

Re: Do you eat breakfast and/or lunch as a family?
Breakfast - as a rule only on vacation. We have in the past few months done a Sunday brunch (maybe half a dozen times). Lunch, again, while on vacation. During the last 15 months we had lunch together a lot because we were all home, but not every day, and not since March.
