Eating standing up is one of those things you're not supposed to do food-wise and family-wise. My husband doesn't do that. He just tries to do chores around the house before leaving for work (those things I complain about him not doing!). When he is home for dinner, we all eat together, in the dining room or kitchen and say grace before we eat.
And re. family time. Nice try, but you are having family time with your kids and your wife gets it during the day but all together time is important too. That's why I think breakfast and dinner together would be ideal. The only problem is that today's work schedules don't make that all that easy, even when one parent stays home.
