Fight With My Family

I made this question because I want to genuinely know, do people actually sit down at the dinner table to eat with their family?

I had the conversation with my cousin before. I remember the time she asked, ‘If I ate dinner with my family,” and I remember laughing being like who eats with their family..?
I told her I ate by myself. That the only times I ate with my family is only when we have parties/events at my house and if we did, everyone would be on their phones when I ate with them. So I mostly ate by myself at the dining table, in my room, or not at all

I remember my 5th grade teacher telling my class that it’s important to eat as a family at the table because it builds a bond. I didn’t believe her at that time, but now I’m older I realized she’s right.
