Do you like to eat at the table or with a TV tray?

I always sat at the table growing up to eat meals with my sister. She was on my left because she was left handed and our elbows would have collided if our places were reversed. I still like to sit at the table and eat dinner, my sons are used to doing this and we can talk instead of letting the tv do it.
But in the future when they have flown the nest I will sit with a tray perched on my lap watching the telly. And I will enjoy that.

Absolutely, growing up and with my children we would sit at the kitchen table.
But, now that I have an empty nest, I usually use a tray table watching TV.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner some days 😊

My lap or recliner (in front of me) is my tray. Or I hold my plate in my hand.

Unless I have to cut meat. Then I sit on the couch and the cushion is my tray. I often use a placemat, though.

I USED to have TV trays. Nasty tippy things! But when I moved here, I bought a coffee table with a top surface that rises up to form an entire table top! Now I eat there...and my little dining room table has become a catch all.

@FreddieUK Amazon!!! I had to assemble it! And it had those horrible screws that would not snap into place unless these little arrows were lined up...and I could not SEE the little arrows! 🤣🤣🤣 So I had to call my son to come and help me. It was 90% assembled when he arrived. I have STILL never seen the little arrows..🤣🤣🤣

THIS is the one I bought...

@4meAndyou It looks great. I have a friend who might be able to put it together for me. Her husband says she better at flat pack assembly than him. LOL. I'll see if I can find it here, check the sizing and decide if it will suit my room. Thanks fr the tip.

We don't have a dining room table. We either eat our meals at the breakfast bar or we do picnic styles on the floor or we will eat outside. But we do not eat anything but snacks and treats in front of the TV no meals

I only ever used a tv tray as a kid when I’d stay at my grandmother’s house. My parents didn’t have one. I didn’t know they still existed

Always at a table, even when I still lived with my parents, who had a telly - which I don't.

I'd rather sit at the table too, unless I'm alone (which is rare) I may sit in front of the TV

At the dinner table apart from Friday nights when we can eat on the sofa!

I do both but prefer the table.

I eat lunch in front of my computer, but dinner is always at a table.

Table. I seem to make less of a mess. Maybe it's just that the messes I make are easier to clean up.🤷

We sit at the table except for saturday nights where we eat while watching TV

I'm too lazy to clear the table which is now a convenient place to store things, so it's a tray.

In front of the tv.. always

All food is eaten at the table in my home.
