[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- part of the problem is spouse prefers "fresh" food so is not open to making something the night before or over the weekend, etc. and is not overly fond of prepared foods. I've suggested meal kits but again spouse doesn't like the regimentedness. Spouse does "get food on the table" but usually around 6:30 while kids (prek and early elementary) get home around 5-5:30 starving (spouse does pickup). This makes that hour of the day stressful to me. I could of course feed snacks but then they tend to refuse to eat dinner.[/quote]

there's lots of fresh food that can be prepped ahead of time.

pay a nanny and stop the day care.

your spouse is idiotic or this is a troll post. [/quote]

She has an amazing spouse that picks up the kids from daycare and makes fresh meals.  I make fresh meals and have never prepped before.

But you are advocating a this family get a nanny since OP has one hour (!!!) of misery with hungry kids?

You are either a lazy coddled housewife or a troll.  [/quote]

Are you a troll sock puppet Op?

I’m a c level exec as is my spouse and we walk in the door at 6pm and the kids were eating or almost done eating, when ages 1-6. After that they were returning from sports and would eat at 6pm or 7pm when they got home with us or other parent car pooling.

Temper tantruming hungry kids for 1 hour of your 3 hours from 5pm-8pm is really asinine and wrong. I feel bad for any kid whose caretaker finds that acceptable. I would certainly fire a nanny who did that. And if my spouse demanded a later dinner time for his personal reasons, I’d find the hungry kids an actual dinner solution.

Self-centered father can dilly dally at the store and in the kitchen by himself from 6-8pm like he wants. [/quote]
