Work, school and activites stop families dining together

Work, school and outside interests are stopping families from eating together in the evenings.

Just one in ten UK families are sitting down to dinner on a weekday evening with working hours and work-related issues being the biggest causes.

Even family evening meals during the weekend are not sacred, with just 47 per cent managing to get together.

After school clubs and extra music classes and sports training were to blame for 26 per cent of children and parents not eating together according to the study by Bisto Aah Night.
