[quote=Anonymous]This is really late for most little kids and im sorry that everyone is exhausted. We have a pre-k and 2nd grader. Home by 5:30 for all most days. Oldest gets off the bus at 4:30 and DH is home (WFH) so she empties lunch box, reads, chills on days shes not in aftercare.  Kids get screen time 5:30-6 if they ask while i make dinner. Dinner 6-6:45. After we do 15-20 min of homework with the oldest while the little one draws or plays cards with a parent. We do a family card game or board game or kids dancing, family walk until 7:45. Quick shower or longer bath depending on the day. A parent takes each kid and reads them a book they cant read themselves. Tuck into bed at 8:30 and kids can read for 10 min themselves if they want to. If we have activities, dinner is at 6:30 as we aim for 5 pm activities. We do takeout or leftovers on activity days. I prep dinner for 2 days and just do fresh vegetables. Nothing complicated. Things like stews and lasagna is made after kids go to bed. I got to bed by 10 as kids are up at 6 and get a lot of playtime in the am before the bus at 8:30. [/quote]
