[quote=Anonymous]NP here.

Mon-Thurs, I eat dinner with the kids, usually between 6:30 and 7:00pm.  DH arrives home at 7pm or shortly thereafter.

Sometimes it is hard/frustrating that he cannot get home in time to join us.  But I appreciate the fact that he is very flexible about helping out in the mornings, as we get one child out to school and one child out to daycare.  He takes on a lot of the morning responsibilities.

They don't ask yet about why daddy isn't home for dinner with us.  But if/when they do, I would probably point out to them that daddy helps out in the mornings and so he has to stay at work a little later.

To alleviate some of my own stress and the fact that I HATE making dinner for the kids every night, DH comes home from work early one day/week, picks up the kids for me, makes their dinner, etc.  On that evening, I typically will work a little later myself, and/or I'll make an acupunture or chiropractor appointment.  Or go to happy hour.  :-)

Friday nights we try to all eat together - I let the kids have snacks so they can wait for him to get home.  We usually get them fast food and then DH and I eat (better) takeout.[/quote]
