The only time we eat at the formal dining table is when we have guests.
I would like that to change but I am outnumbered and resistance is
futile. DS eats in his high chair, I usually eat standing up while
managing him, and DH eats in his office (working), in the kitchen next
to us, or in the bedroom watching a movie (we have sort of a theater
set-up). We are pretty non-conventional types when it comes to
formality.
