[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You first mistake is you eat at lunch at not with your kids.

Second dinner is a time for them to bond with you.

This is a you problem that you created.

Fix it now. Not hard involve them. Take them to a grocery store, have them make a list of dinner meals prep together etc....

My DH traveled as well. And I worked full time and dinner was always on the table. Veggie, fruit protein etc.. We ie my kids and I worked together.

Not chores we worked together. [/quote]

That's you. Other families are different. What worked for you will not work for other families. Having super rigid expectations for what family evenings are supposed to look like just stress people out. For my picky eater who turned out to have sensory issues and anxiety, trying to follow your dictates would have made it worse.

If kids are getting proper nutrition and the family is otherwise happy, it's fine. My kid with the eating issues has never enjoyed mealtimes that much except for nights we go to her favorite restaurant. We used to connect in other ways, playing piano or reading together, as those were activities she loved. It's all good.[/quote]
