And it’s not just making dinner, it’s having an established routine that includes dinner time; making sure that you have pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and flatware, in your home, clean, and ready to use; planning a nutritious meal that appeals to adults and kids with at least one thing the toddler will definitely eat; making sure said meal can be prepared and eaten in the time you have between getting home and sports practice; grocery shopping; and clean-up.

It’s a lot.  And it’s nearly impossible to get it all done without thinking about it at least some of the time while I am at work.

That takes effort? I meal plan for every week. I make a list grocery list and DH and I split the list and go grocery shopping on Sunday, sometimes Saturday. I cook dinner Sunday-Wed and Friday. Wednesday is take out night, Thursday is fend for yourself, Saturday is dinner at my parents. DH and kids take care of dishes. Everyone packs lunches before dinner is put away.

Our household runs on auto-pilot 99% of the time. DH and I go to work and come home. Kids go to school and come home. Sometimes kids get sick. Sometimes things come up that we want to do or have to do and require an adjustment in our routine.

I leave home at home and work at work.
