[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think it's so important now. But will the timing actually improve? As they get a little older, in elementary school, is it likely to improve? I guess with a later bedtime for them. This is a bit of an extreme example ... I was expected to be at the dinner table when my Father came home. I had eaten hours before. But I sat with him, talking around the table while he ate his dinner (to be honest it was usually 9pm and they kept me up late so I could see him, every night, or else I probably wouldn't have seen him on weeknights at all) Anyway, *the eating* is not the important part. The togetherness is. And the routine is comforting. You can probably works towards that. But if what's needed -- more -- is quality time between you and your husband together, alone, embrace what you intuitively know is the most important. What's good for the marriage, is good for the family.[/quote]
