[quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid my mom picked me up from aftercare at 5:15, we were home by 5:30, and dinner was on the table when my dad walked in around 6-6:15. When I was in high school I mostly did activities at school immediately after school so same deal: my dad picked me up and mom arrived home before us at 5:30 and we ate by 6:30 (I think by this time she felt she could relax a bit on the time and take a few minutes before starting to cook). When I had a little kid it was easy because I mostly worked from home and DH was often home by 6:30 so I just had it ready when he got home. If he was late I fed the kid and sometimes ate with the kid or sometimes waited. Now I am home at a decent time and still WFH a lot but with a teen the sports practices and stuff are too much. Half the week we just eat whatever and eat again after practice. I prioritize family dinner on weekends, Monday, and Friday. It works for us and we eat around 6:30. Our families were never late eating familys. [/quote]
