[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have kids the same age. I think having the kids and one adult eat at the table at the same time is important and it cuts down on chaos. So I make sure kids and DH are all seated and I run the waiter triage.  Need a drink, food cut, more condiments? I’m on it. When everyone reaches a happy point I sit down to eat too. Generally the rest of the family is still eating and about 75% done when I join them. I eat as they finish.

I just run my kitchen like a restaurant.[/quote]

I did this too, but I hate the gender politics (womens needs don’t matter, serving husbands at table. [/quote]

I don’t play a martyr and view it differently. My needs do matter and so do those of my family. Chaos at dinner turns me into a crazy person so I found a solution that works and implemented it. I’m teaching  my kids to be creative thinkers and problem solvers. Also, I enjoy serving my family. But I out earn my husband by 5 times so he knows his place in the pecking order 😏[/quote]
