Several Mom’s and I made a pact, our children can not date until the age of 16 and only then it will be group dating.

Hi Denise, I would like to let you know that my family and I eat dinner together every single night. We have always done this as I grew up, my husband not so much they used to take their plates to their rooms and all eat at the same time but in sepereate areas. It was a long process at first with my husband because he was always used to that, but I make sure every night nobody leaves the room while eating and we always sit around the table and reflect on our day. So my answer would be 6-7

Although this has not been a problem for me, I have discovered a lot of roadblocks along the way and I’ve definately learned a lot from the Love and Logic website .
