[quote=Anonymous]One of the best thing to happen to us during Covid was finally family meals all together.

Then, my spouse started working from home post-covid like I always had so we now have a nightly family dinner.  It was something that bothered me throughout most of my kids elementary years, not having family meals.  My husband used to get home late and I was already taking them to practice.

Now the family meals have been routine since March 2020.  One is in high school and the other is in 8th grade.  The older one usually has sports right after school, getting home at 5:30 and on other nights not club practice which is not until 8-9:30pm.  The younger one has 5-6:30pm 2 nights and one later practice the other night.

WE adjust for the times and what we will serve to fit into the schedule...and the biggest is my husband now helps--either shopping or a meal a few times a week too.

I had read so many studies about the importance of family meal times and it has become easier with two WAH parents and older kids.  I even am giving my 8th grader the same refrain 'be home for dinner by X' the way my mom did back in the 80s when he's out with friends after school on nights he doesn't have a sports practice.[/quote]
