[quote=Anonymous]We don't eat family dinner with our 3 year old. We have talked about starting it, but we are currently very worn out from potty training and WFH without childcare, and we really look forward to getting to have dinner with just the two of us after hour kid goes to bed. It's pretty much the only couple time we get these days. Our kid is also in prime food rejection phase right now, too, so meals with her are not particularly relaxing at the moment and by the time dinner rolls around, my patience is getting a little too thin to sit down for a 40 minute meal in the evening. I can handle eating with her earlier in the day, but by 6pm I am exhausted and just happy if she will consume any amount of the dinner I actually made (as opposed to the emergency yogurt and fruit she will inevitably demand instead).

I also feel less pressure to do family dinner right now because since we're all home right now, we are eating breakfast and lunch together most days. I think if our kid was going to school we'd prioritize dinner more.
