Meals that connect [EN/PT]

in #hive-153850last month

Meals are important moments for many people, especially families, who can get together, share moments and conversations, and promote a little more closeness in daily lives that are often hectic. Routine sometimes drives people apart, and mealtimes can be an opportune moment to establish bonds. To neglect this moment is to give up spending time with the most important people in our lives, and we know that life passes too quickly for us not to have these moments.

Perhaps lunch with the family is more difficult. It happens at the busiest time of the day, and often you can't be at home because of work or because your children are still at school. So dinner really ends up being the only meal everyone is present for, and making it a routine for everyone to get together is important.

During the time I lived with my mother, we rarely had dinner together, but that was because of her work schedule, and she always got home late. My brother and I always ate our meals in our own rooms and at different times too. The only time we ate together as a family was at weekends, when everyone was at home. Perhaps this gave rise to a habit in me of eating alone. Many people don't like this solitude at mealtimes, but I've come to like it over time, because I've been doing it for most of my life.

Today I live with my girlfriend, and we've gotten into the habit of having dinner together most of the time. At lunchtime we always eat together too, as I'm now working from home, just like her. The only problem with lunch is that I eat a lot earlier than she does, because I start work at midday and she's not always hungry or has time at around 11am. But in the evening, most of the time, we share the table.

My son comes to my house at weekends, and he's always there at mealtimes, sharing the table with us. This is the perfect time for him to tell me about his week at school or about the things that happened during the week. I think it's very important to do this with him too, because this kind of habit creates good memories for him to look back on when he's older and, who knows, maybe he'll adopt this kind of routine when he has a family of his own.

I think it's great to have this kind of daily meeting with the people you live with. Perhaps because I didn't have this when I lived with my mother, due to the conditions at the time, I didn't realize how important these moments are to bring the people we love closer together. Sometimes loving isn't enough. We also need to create moments of closeness and sometimes dinners are our only time to enjoy this company and have more pleasant conversations, without the hectic routine to get in the way.

As refeições são momentos importantes para muitas pessoas, principalmente para as famílias, que podem se reunir, compartilhar momentos e conversas, e promover um pouco mais de proximidade em cotidianos que muitas vezes são agitados. A rotina às vezes afasta as pessoas, e a refeição pode ser esse momento oportuno para estabelecer os laços. Negligenciar esse momento é abrir mão de passar um tempo com as pessoas mais importantes da nossa vida, e sabemos que a vida passa rápido demais para não termos esses momentos.

Talvez o almoço com a família seja algo mais difícil. Ele acontece no momento mais agitado do dia, e muitas vezes não se pode estar em casa por conta do trabalho ou porque os filhos ainda estão na escola. Então, o jantar acaba sendo realmente a única refeição em que todos estão presentes, e fazer disso uma rotina para que todos se reúnam é importante.

Durante o período em que morava com a minha mãe, raramente jantávamos reunidos, mas isso era por conta do horário de trabalho dela, que sempre chegava tarde em casa. Eu e meu irmão sempre fazíamos nossas respectivas refeições em nossos quartos e em horários distintos também. O único momento de comer reunido em família era nos finais de semana, quando todos estavam em casa. Talvez isso tenha gerado um hábito em mim de comer sozinho. Muitos não gostam dessa solidão na hora da refeição, mas eu acabei gostando com o tempo, por conta do costume de fazer isso durante boa parte da minha vida.

Hoje eu moro com minha namorada, e criamos o hábito de jantar reunidos na maioria das vezes. No almoço também sempre comemos juntos, pois agora estou trabalhando em home office, assim como ela. O único problema do almoço é que eu como bem mais cedo que ela, pois começo a trabalhar ao meio-dia e nem sempre ela está com fome ou com o horário vago por volta das 11 da manhã. Mas à noite, na maioria das vezes, compartilhamos a mesa.

Meu filho vem para minha casa aos fins de semana, e ele sempre está presente nas refeições, compartilhando a mesa conosco. Esse é o momento perfeito para ele me contar como foi sua semana na escola ou sobre as coisas que aconteceram durante a semana. Acho muito importante fazer isso com ele também, pois esse tipo de hábito cria boas lembranças para ele se recordar quando estiver mais velho e, quem sabe, também adotar esse tipo de rotina quando tiver sua própria família.

Acho muito bom ter esse tipo de reunião diária com as pessoas com quem moramos. Talvez por não ter tido isso quando morava com a minha mãe, devido às condições da época, eu não tenha me dado conta de como esses momentos são importantes para unir mais as pessoas que amamos. Às vezes, amar não é suficiente. Também é preciso criar momentos de proximidade e, às vezes, os jantares são o nosso único momento de desfrutar dessa companhia e ter conversas mais agradáveis, sem a rotina agitada para atrapalhar.

Eating together creates a perfect bonds with family, and I love how you guys always have dinner together anytime your son is around because he would be a habit in him when he grows up and have is own family.

I hope he also cherishes this in the future.

I believe that dinning sessions are unique and one where we get to tell how the day went. And also to appreciate one another. Like your son, it will be easier to know the fun and challenges and fun he experiences at school.

eu sou mt grata por vc se 'esforçar' e encaixar nosso jantar todos os dias na rotina. pra mim, é muito importante ter companhia, ainda mais a sua ❤️

Também gosto da sua companhia xuxu!

Your son will always be happy for listening to him while he shares his experience at school over a meal at home. Eating together creates that bond and keeps it stronger. Now, I also like eating alone because eating together as family stopped after the death of my mom but I cherish those moments. This is why we must take our time to enjoy every moment.

You're right, sometimes we need to create those memories. I'm sure you cherish those recollections with your mom fondly.

I guess I'm a bit lucky on that part because I always eat with most of my family members, especially with my mom. I've noticed that I tend to eat more when I'm eating with them compared to when I'm eating alone. It's also definitely a great to catch up on each other's lives and discuss trivial or not so trivial things. These are the moments that live on long after the experience has passed.

These are the moments that live on long after the experience has passed.

Meal times with people we love are always important and cherished. I had lots of them growing up and until now. In those few moments, we created memories even, and we got to catch up.

You're doing really well having dinner with your son. Just as you remember the times when you really couldn't have those meals with your mum, same way, when he's older, he'd recall that he enjoyed his meals with you.

I always try to provide him with the best memories; I know how important that is.

i also find it very much that we gathered for these small moments of our days

They are important moments!

Eu comentei a mesma coisa no meu post, na hora do almoço é complicado eu me reunir com minha esposa e filhos, então a hora do jantar é essencial para ter esse momento de conversa e união. A guerra contra o celular é tensa mano, as vezes até na mesa para jantar tem que falar pra eles não mexerem para a gente poder aproveitar e conversar juntos.

The day-to-day routine can really get in the way of these family moments.

But it's nice to know that you usually have this moment with your child, without a doubt he must really enjoy telling the week's stories.

Manter uma rotina dessa diaria 'e bem dificil. Nao impossivel, ainda mais quando agenda de todos come'ca a se entupir rs principalmente qdo as criancas comecam a ter a vida propria deles.

Sim, as coisa vão mudando com o tempo, mas é maneiro ter isso quando possível
