The home was too small...

Do these sentences sound natural to you? Is there any other way of saying the 2nd part of these sentences? What's the meaning of "consumed in waves" here?


? The home was too small for everyone to even eat together. Dinners were consumed in waves — first the children, then the men, and finally the women.
