[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe one night a week could be your night off when everyone fends for themselves.  Sandwich, cereal, something frozen, leftovers whatever they can come up with.[/quote]

This, and then some.  Dinner doesn’t need to be such a big deal every night.  Some ideas:
Taco bar Tuesday 
On Wednesday, I make soup in the crockpot and put out bread and cold cuts and bag salad
On Fridays, I put out pizza crusts— I get the long ones from the grocery store and some toppings.  Everyone tops their own.  I’m also dealing with weight and reflux issues so I go light on the cheese and sauce and heavy on the veggies.  I put them all in the oven together and we have pizza movie night.
On Saturday I get 2 rotisserie chickens, rolls and a veggie to roast on a sheet pan.
We do a lot of “picnics” on the deck or at the park with sandwiches or bread, cheese, meat and fruit
DH grills at least once a week when it is even a bit warm
Scrambled eggs, toast and fruit for dinner once a week

Just do one big, proper dinner a week.  Dinner time can be a nice time to all sit down together and eat without it being a meal like a 1950s housewife would make.
