[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are being really unreasonable. It is FINE if your kids eat fruit as a snack, even if they "fill up" before dinner. Dinner for small kids (like, 2rd grade and under) is often more grazing than anything.

It is also fine if, together, you decide that kids should eat at 5:30 and adults eat later. But recognize that you're then asking your husband to prepare TWO meals a day.

My best suggestion to you is to FULLY ABSENT yourself (stay at work) until dinner is on the table. Let husband deal with cranky kids and then, if he's unhappy, he can adjust his process as he thinks is appropriate. If you are hangry at 5:30 that is your own fault - eat a string cheese.[/quote]

Wow. When our kids were little they ate snacks and lunch at preschool 9-3pm and then at home to nap and dinner at 5:30 w nanny or 6 with us, the. To bed at 7, then 7:30 as older than 3, then eventually 8pm once 5.

We had a rotation of meals back when the kids were little too- salmon, chicken, beef, tilapia, chicken dish. Protein, veg and carb.

Age 1-2 they did purées of the above.

Dinner was never grazing. [/quote]
