[quote=Anonymous]All of the families we know that get home after 6:00 do a separate, quick kid dinner time without the parents. Rotisserie chicken (or make a batch of chicken on the weekends), pasta, frozen meatballs, quesadillas, etc. Whatever you can make in 15 minutes that your kids will eat without a fuss. That way dinner is over by 7:15, baths and bed is done by 8:00, and you have time to relax and make yourself dinner after they're in bed. They get more sleep, you have actual time to relax without having to hand your kids a tablet. It's not ideal, but neither is what you're currently doing. Your schedule sounds unhealthy and unsustainable for everyone. Kudos to you for posting here and looking for help, I hope you can take some of this advice and make some changes.[/quote]
