Getting your whole family together for a sit-down meal can be accomplished by making plans to go to a traditional pizza restaurant in Toronto, ON. Tell everyone in the morning, before work and school, the plan. If someone feels like dressing up, and another wants to go in his or her work out clothes, everyone will fit in. Once there, you can decide on whether you will be ordering pizza or if everyone will have their own entree, the prices are not going to break you.
Most of these establishments will have an area with video games you and your family can enjoy while waiting for your food to be cooked and brought to the table. Make it a fun time and have contests to see who can get the highest scores on the different games. It should be a time for everyone to just be together and having a good time.
After a few games, you may want to head over to the salad bar. If the server tells you that your food is ready, you can ask to have it kept warm while everyone eats their salad. There will be no need to rush through the salads to avoid eating a cold meal. Try not to get full on the salad though, you still have a meal to eat.
The important part while everyone is eating, is to take your time and talk. Don't just keep eating and avoid conversation. Now is the time to get to know what everyone is doing and if there are any special events coming up. Make sure that everyone gets a chance to talk.
It can also be good to make sure that everyone in the family is doing well and not having any troubles. Sometimes, you will need to get things started, telling about a problem you are having, but you also want to try and keep things good. If there is a problem, ask each of them how they would handle it and make comments on their responses.
Do not get too full while eating the main meal. Save room for dessert. If it seems as if everyone has eaten too much, have one dessert that can be shared by everyone, or order coffee, or some hot cocoa to extend the time you all spend together.
As the meal comes to a close, ask again if there is something that needs to be talked about. If not, make a few jokes or make plans for the next day you will all have together. Let everyone know you had a good time, and comment that you should do this more often.
Spending the evening as a family is not always going to be possible. Going out to eat can get a bit expensive and there may not be money in the budget for it, but, going out and getting a pizza or two is not going to be any more expensive than what you would spend on the groceries for a meal at home. You will find something for everyone to eat, and you can all enjoy the meal, no one will have to cook or clean, or get up to get any condiments that are needed at the table. It will be good to be pampered a bit.
