[quote=Anonymous]We made the switch shortly after our son turned one because we wanted to get in the habit of it. We usually eat dinner around 6 (though he does go to bed on the later side, 8ish). I would not call dinner relaxing necessarily, but as someone else said, it is WAY less work to just prep the one dinner. So in that sense, post-bedtime is more relaxing - and I say this as someone who enjoys cooking! We still occasionally do adult only dinners for special occasions and whatnot. For me personally it was about setting up the routine for when he’s older. Not sure how much it matters now, but it helps me to have gotten the rhythm down a little bit. But I don’t think it’s bad that you don’t! Just a matter of when/if you want to make the switch. [/quote]
