Guilty as charged....but in my defense the kitchen table usually has guitars being modded and/or repaired on it.

Never, that is one of the rules we have that we never break. Because we have such a big family that (7 kids) that is the only time we get to talk...it's family time.

My family was the same way Fo6. It was a rule in our house that not only were we not allowed to watch TV during dinner, it wasn't allowed to be on either.

I turn it off if DD seems interested in it at all but I don't think she can even hear it most of the time. Mainly it's because I'm lazy and forgot to turn it off before we sit down. Also Logan doesn't stay at the table with us most of time so it helps keep him busy while we finish eating and chatting with the girl child

Lol yeah I totally put Eli's high chair in front of the TV sometimes at dinner. It keeps him behaved while he eats. (I'm terrible)
