[quote=Anonymous]My kids are in elementary school and go to bed by 8 so dinner is at 6pm. We eat together, it is just easier if everyone is eating the same thing. We have our share of pickiness to deal with so our meals are often customizable - eg Taco Tuesday where one kid only wants the beans and rice, another wants the cheese quesadilla, etc but we're all choosing from the same options. Another plus of the early dinner time is that once the kids go to bed, I have time to read a book or watch a show and still manage a reasonable bed time for myself. You can still spend time with your husband bonding over cooking - this can be done in the form of meal prep for the next night's dinner, after the kids go to bed. That way it's also possible to get dinner on the table quickly for your hungry kids.[/quote]
