[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get these people who insist they are eating as a family every single night. Are your kids older?? My kids go to bed at 7pm. I don’t get home until 5:30/6 on workdays. It wouldn’t be possible to get a full meal on the table for everyone before its bath and bedtime. We planned to start family dinner time when the kids are much older…it just doesn’t work at all time-wise on weekdays for little ones. [/quote] I eat with my kids (2 and 4) every night. We eat some time between 5:30 and 6:30, with bedtime at 7:30. Weeknight dinners are often leftovers or quick to prepare and since I work from home it’s easy enough to do something like turn on the rice cooker before heading out to pick up the kids. But I preferred to eat early even before kids so it works well for me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with waiting to institute family dinner until the kids are staying up later if that works better for your family.[/quote]
