Sometimes, but its in the other room to the dining/kitchen table.
If depends... If we are we catching up on our prerecorded shows and having a kid free moment, then yes. If she is on the couch eating, but the kids and I are at the table, then yes. If If we are all sitting down for a family meal, then no or not usually. If we are not at home on a kid free night out, then no.
The tv can be on or off. A conversation will emerge to break the silence and of course dessert featuring her is mainly the end of dinner :)
All the time lol.
No tv, they don't have the TVs on at our school during our lunch period.
What's a TV? I think you mean Laptop or Tablet. and sometimes :)
No :) possibly a movie but never the television
We've been together going on three months now, the tv has not been on only once for 15 minutes :)

Yes hahah! Funny as it is, we eat on the floor instead of table sometimes because its more relaxing. But sometimes sitting together face to face is nice also.
I like it when we sit on the floor and watch basketball together! :3

Usually. We generally eat on the couch right in front of the TV, usually watching the news or Jeopardy!
Sometimes. I don't have a preference though. When it's on a conversation will start related to what's on, but when it's off I pay closer attention to what he's saying.
We don't typically eat together. TV is always on.

YES!!
Yes
It depends. I try hard to turn off the TV during our weekly meals together, but on the weekend I enjoy watching our favorite shows together.
Most times!
