Not usually, mostly fast food when I became a teenager.
When I was in elementary school we ate at the table.
As an adult I look back and recognize my mom was really depressed in my tween/teen years. My dad was an ass and I'm guessing she felt trapped but also was sticking it out for us kids. I'm guessing mom's depression lead to breakdown of family dinner.
Admittedly we rarely dine at the table with my tween. They grew to prefer dining alone with the iPad which I know is really unhealthy. We do on occasion connect sharing a meal together ... probably at least a few times a week.
