[quote=Anonymous]We usually eat out Friday for dinner, Saturday for lunch/brunch, and Saturday for dinner.

We'll sometimes eat out through the week if it's going to be a crazy night with kids and adults going in all different directions, but that happens maybe once or twice a month.

The biggest thing that I had to learn was that it was okay to have a sit-down family dinner at home even if members of the family were missing. I realized this about 5 years ago when I went through the same Chick-fil-a drive thru three separate times to feed my 4 kids and the person at the window said something about recognizing me. Also, learning that it was perfectly fine for a kid to eat a sandwich for dinner if they didn't like what I cooked. I used to fret and either make a meal that everyone loved (those got old fast b/c of too much repetition) or make separate meals to please everyone (exhausting).

Sunday is family dinner day in our house. With the exception of a school activity or sports activity, we eat at home and spend the day together as a family. The kids all know that they can't hang with friends that day, which they're fine with because we're pretty lenient through the week.

My wife cooks and anyone who is home at 6:30 or 7 when it's finished can eat dinner then. Everyone else can eat later when they come home from their activities. [/quote]
