[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Relax and learn flexibility. As long as you have family time you don’t have to do rigid sit down family dinner with all members every night.

Don’t your kids have sports or activities?

We rarely have sit down family dinners during the week. Kids are fine. As someone mentioned, your kids probably won’t even notice and if they do just explain daddy has yo work late on Tuesdays. Life happens. It will be ok. [/quote]

Having both parents home for 6pm dinner is pretty rare. If you are home by 4, that means you go to work at 7:30? So kids are either a long morning care or your DH drops them off, and usually is home by 5?

Does he work next to school, the timing is incredible. Most parents dropping off kids at 830 could maybe make it home at 6 with a very short commute and rigid 40 hour week.

For most working parents, someone getting home after 6pm dinner time is the norm. [/quote]

I hear you, but I don’t think you are right.  When I get out of work early and go to pick up my kids at daycare at 4pm, half the kids are already gone.  By 5:30, when I usually get there, there are only a few kids still there.  [/quote]
