Daddy Clay and Daddy Owen ask their panel of parenting experts about the family dinner, Do you sit down and have meals with your family every night? And if so, how do these moms and dads pull it off? Some suggestions from the panel of parents include: try family lunches, turn off the TV, call in some help, get the kids involved with cooking the food, order in and most certainly make the meal fun.

Daddy Brad: Do you sit down and have dinner with your family every night? And if so – how do you pull it off?

Lady 1: We have a wonderful college kid that comes to help us.

Dr. Mom: My children enjoy it now, more than they did when I was working.

Lady 2: I got to my mothers house and she cooks for me.

Man 1: Family lunches are more appropriate for us right now.

Man 2: You turn off the movie, close the doors to the TV…

Man 3: We have family dinner evening – sometimes I was the only one there…

Man 4: My daughter does the sauté, my son does the Martini’s and I kick back in my house slippers and my pipe.

Man 5: An easy night is at the Abysmal Church - $3 a head, good way to feed the family.

Lady 1: Rely on the good ole KFC.

Daddy Clay: Were the kids allowed to have a sip of wine or something when they were…?

Dr Mom: It’s quite okay.

Man 2: That’s crucial.

Lady 3: We really just would kind of eat on the Futon or on the floor or in bed or….

Daddy Owen: We sit around on the corn table and then we usually put one potato – uncooked in the middle, and what we teach Arden is, if you’re not winning the fight – you’re going to be hungry.

Lady 4: We try to have family dinner, and the way that works is that daddy makes dinner.

Daddy Clay: You cooking?

Man 2: Most of the time
