[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing should come before family dinners IMO. It's the only time we have together. No sport or activity is more important.[/quote] [b]The 1:1 time I have spent in the car with my kids, where they are far more likely to talk about hard things, plus the time I've spent driving them with their friends, where I get to overhear and learn A LOT, is at least as valuable our dinners together. Just fyi.[/b] OP, to answer your question, no gizmos required. One meal after school, another after practice, healthy snacks in the backpack. We rarely resort to eating out, unless it's a tournament weekend.[/quote] Agree 100%!! We try to have family dinners when we can, even if it is late, and that usually happens 3 times per week or so, but both DH and I find that that car time with our tween or teen really meaningful, too. Also agree that the carpools can be great for getting information you would not otherwise![/quote]
