[quote=Anonymous]My kids are older but now we’re in the most of the “multiple activities per night“ phase but i have lived the “other parent isn’t home for dinner ever” life. +100 to PP who said let go of the guilt.  Give them reasonably healthy balanced meals over the course of a week and make sure there’s food there when they are hungry. Some things that we have done or currently do
-BFD. Scrambled eggs, toast, fruit. A fruit smoothie if I’m really motivated. For many years i did this every Friday and DD was convinced it was a super special treat bc I’m an amazing mom (LOL).
-beans. My kids adore beans esp refried beans straight out of the can. I can hear ppl gasping in horror but whatever… they smear some beans and cheese on a tortilla, zap it for a few secs, portable dinner ish thing they can eat on the way to (whatever).
-nothing wrong with charcuterie /snacky dinner.  I just try to make sure there’s some protein and a fruit or veg in there. 
-cook once eat multiple times. I cooked a bunch of chicken yesterday and i think we’re eating it in like 4 different ways this week. 
-literally tonight our veg is crudite. This happens at least once a week and usually more
-you need to eat with them.  
-i will sometimes meal plan around what will create the smallest amount of dishes. I hate cleaning up the kitchen![/quote]
