[quote=Anonymous]I recently went back to work after having baby #2 and we are having a really hard time figuring out how to cook dinner and eat at a reasonable time.

Right now DH and I both get home from work around 6:45pm, spend 20 mins with our boys, and then divide and conquer bedtime routines. The baby is put down first (bottle, book, song) and is in bed around 7:30-7:45pm. The other parent starts bedtime for the older one at 7:30pm, and then the one putting the baby to bed does tick in and kiss for the older one. So basically we are busy until 8pm, at which time we can start prepping and cooking. Best case scenario we eat at 8:30pm, but it’s usually closer to 8:45pm. Not cooking anything complex but I still have to prep and cook which takes time.

So what is the secret to getting food on the table much faster? Prep all on a Sunday? Unfortunately there isn’t time to do much in the mornings as of now - they are pretty hectic since my DH has to leave early and it’s usually me plus two kids until our nanny comes and I leave.

Am I crazy to think that most people eat much earlier?[/quote]
