In my house, we don’t always follow the same schedule.
Often times, various family members need to eat at a different time than the others because they have somewhere to be.
When that happens, we still do our best to make sure that at least one person sits with the other, so that no one eats alone.
It’s not 100% perfect, but it’s probably at 80% at least.
It’s important.
