[quote=Anonymous]My husband worked shift work when my kids were toddlers, we tried hard to have a family meal every day, but it wasn't always dinner, it just depended on his hours. I ate with my toddlers every evening, but part of that is that I didn't face the issue you did in that generally if DH wasn't home for dinner it's because he was working 4 - 10 and I wasn't going to wait that long. When he was on that shift, we'd switch and do family breakfast instead. We also often had a retired relative stop by for dinner. So, my kids got the experience of adult conversation, which I think is a big part of why family meals are important for kids. [/quote]
