[quote=Anonymous]We only have one kid, so I cannot speak to the two kid dynamics, sorry OP.   I will say that we did rely on the iPad and headphones at dinners out, just to otherwise "normalize" everyone else's dining experience, at earlier ages.   It sometimes was an issue when dining out with parents who had a strict no screens at the meal for their kids.   A bit stressful for sure, and you either make it work, or do parents only, or the friendship moves on without you and your kid.       Babysitters, beyond the typical age, were part of the solution too.

I'll also offer that DS would take a small dose booster in the afternoons (administered by the school nurse) which would get him through aftercare, homework, and dinner if we were lucky.   The extended release provided at breakfast just did not make it.   We skipped this booster dose on weekends, unless we had organized afternoon plans (bday parties) or dinners out.  I am not sure if you have tried a low dose booster, but if not it might be something to explore with the dr.    With age came some maturity, thankfully, and DS kind of grew out of the booster dose, while staying at the same dose of extended release.

Best of luck in your decision and rollout.    Keeping the peace for all AND getting out of the house is a tightrope balance for sure.   [/quote]
