One of the great tragedies of modern-day hustle culture is the loss of family dinners around the table. For many today, dinner is simply something you eat in the evening, whether on the go or in front of the television—and it’s usually squeezed between work schedules, commutes, meetings, after-school activities, and homework. Sometimes it comes from a drive-through window or is reheated in the microwave, and rarely does it occur for each member of the family at the same time.
However, there are some families that have managed to prioritize eating dinner together, recognizing the many benefits of doing so. Even if schedules allow a sit-down dinner only once or twice each week, the value in making that happen consistently is worth considering.
