[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try and prepare meals in advance as much as possible. I have two kids, one 2 and the other 8 months and weekends are the hardest. Evenings we can fill with park, meals, bath, bedtime routine, sleep. I found that having the meals ready ahead of time makes a huge difference. [/quote] I think this is great in theory, but it's really, really difficult if both parents work. Even if one gets off early, like I do. I think the idea of having a "meal prep day" on the weekend is also great in theory, but it's hard unless one of us takes the kids out without the other, or unless we can get a babysitter. Because the kids go to bed by 7:30, I prefer to spend our weekends together because we get so little of that during the week. [/quote] The early bedtime is great for meal prep the night before. Leftovers into containers for lunch the next day, clean up dinner, prep next day's dinner. We were not eating anything complicated. [/quote]
