My answer would be VERY OFTEN

When you say family, it is compose of Father, Mother & Child/Children. But then, very often we eat together as one. Though it is one of the common culture of every Filipinos, it has become uncommon because of other priorities. In our home, we are six in the family, I have my younger sister, nephew, then my mother and father but mostly my mother didn't eat with us most of the time because she do first the household chores. My sister too woke up very late in the morning. There are a lot of reasons why this common thing had become uncommon to us.
