Carefully used, that longing can be a real motivator to a maturing kid to polish up his or her manners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-8114903663900167762009-07-02T13:55:35.216-07:002009-07-02T13:55:35.216-07:00We usually have the kids sit with us.

Then the adults can chat.Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-53569385787491158372009-07-02T10:52:39.483-07:002009-07-02T10:52:39.483-07:00Great post, Sandy ---Great post, Sandy ---La Tea Dahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03138624485398178242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-1644703591565978682009-07-02T10:27:55.800-07:002009-07-02T10:27:55.800-07:00We do this too, sometimes feeding the kids first, ...We do this too, sometimes feeding the kids first, then as they play, take time to enjoy ours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833388514253606318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-15070162204875925972009-07-02T09:16:25.772-07:002009-07-02T09:16:25.772-07:00we usually sit seperate, we will get our kids all ...we usually sit seperate, we will get our kids all settled with the plates, drinks etc then we get to sit and visit and enjoy our conversations with the other adults and then wathc the kids play<br /><br />and being home with 4 kiddos every day sure makes you crave adult time any way we can get it lolRaquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283644191311366458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-29969384780465987172009-07-02T07:17:21.521-07:002009-07-02T07:17:21.521-07:00We have a large dining room table so we'll oft...We have a large dining room table so we'll often seat our kids with us.

Kids first, adults later. It actually worked really well, except a couple of times the kids actually took a lot longer than we thought they would!! My house simply isn't big enough for a second table for the kids, but this worked okay.tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-13505665271123998762009-07-02T05:57:43.163-07:002009-07-02T05:57:43.163-07:00I think a mixture of both is good, it's great ...I think a mixture of both is good, it's great for kids to have their space but also sitting with the adults can teach them good manners and how to communicate with adults. I think it is important that kids are able to sit and be part of the conversatin although I agree that sometime it's great to have an adults only table!No Longer 25https://www.blogger.com/profile/08406384646112029699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-31545075235119236042009-07-02T05:28:23.675-07:002009-07-02T05:28:23.675-07:00You are absolutely RIGHT about kids eating and run...You are absolutely RIGHT about kids eating and running. In fact, I love it when they leave, then the adult conversation can settle in and really get going...<br /><br />That's when you know your teens are getting older, when they hang on the fringes and want to hear what you're saying!<br /><br />deb mAn Adventurer in the Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11609157269651262432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-20649231948174860232009-07-02T04:01:51.675-07:002009-07-02T04:01:51.675-07:00It depends.

If it is just a couple of kids, I include them at the table. I made your Easy Green Enchiladas and have a secret stash of the leftovers.
