[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8yo and I don't think we've ever managed a weeknight family dinner together at any time. One of us hangs with her while she eats, and I cook after bedtime for an adult dinner. I'm very impressed by the commitment and schedules in these replies, but it would never happen in our household. DH isn't home from work until at least 7 and we prioritize time with our daughter until she has to go to bed. [/quote] I always found the idea of an “adult dinner” weird. We always try to eat together. But if someone is home late, they just heat up their meal. [/quote] I made “adult dinners” from the time my DD was born until she was about 4 and stayed up later than 7 pm. I found her to be pretty cranky in the late afternoon and preferred to focus on her bedtime routine from 6:30-7 and enjoy dinner with my husband after she was asleep. I didn’t think my husband should have to heat up his meal at 6:30 each night when he came home from work because I was tending to our daughter.[/quote]
