[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think it's super important right now, as long as you are sharing other meals with your child. With our first child, we did family dinner every single night around 5-530pm. We also both worked from home and finished by 4pm. We continued that when DC2 was a newborn, but then we were both working out of the house full-time and our nanny fed the kids at 5pm (we were both home between 5-530). Now, they are 4 and 6, she still feeds them by 5pm most of the time, leaves shortly after 5:00, and then we have some really nice family time together playing board games and things like that. Our 4YO needs to go to bed by 7pm, so we far prefer our setup to trying to cram cooking, dinner, showers, etc. into the 2 hours we have before he goes to bed. Our time together is much higher quality. Hopefully once he's a little older we can move to family dinners.[/quote]
