Lately dinners have moved to 6-6:30pm and it works better that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1779027 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:48:59 +0000 ShootingStar 1779027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes we do. I like when we can all sit down and I'll take turns feeding D bites and feeding myself. But sometimes the timing doesn't work out and we need to cook dinner while I'm feeding him. Then DH and I eat together and D plays. </p> <p>I did tell DH that as of tomorrow when we move I want to stop eating on the couch and eat at the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1779024 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:48:14 +0000 loki 1779024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: haha i just laughed out loud. i bet all babies would go to sleep a lot easier if they went to bed with a glass of wine. i know it helps me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1779004 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:45:02 +0000 Pumuckl 1779004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes since most days it's just me and LO. We have dinner at 6-6:30pm. On the days DH is home he joins in on the fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778996 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:42:02 +0000 allison 1778996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all eat dinner at 6 or 6:30. Bedtime routine starts at 7:30. I only cook one meal, so we all eat when it's fresh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778995 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:41:43 +0000 Adira 1778995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I want to, but we're not there yet. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778975 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:36:44 +0000 Aimed 1778975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but LO is only 18 months. Once he is older - around 3, I will start doing this. Right now, trying to eat at the same time as him is a messy horror show so DH and I make dinner for us together after LO goes to bed with a glass of wine. </p> <p>eta: DH and I have a glass of wine with cooking / eating dinner - we do not send LO to bed with a glass of wine :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778955 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:28:26 +0000 JerricaBenton 1778955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup.

LO gets really upset if we are not both there or if one of us gets up before dinner is over... Some nights I miss TV and lap desks haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778818 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:57:35 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1778818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: UGH. My DH is on the same schedule. IT"S SO HARD. and SO HARD is an understatement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778813 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:57:05 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1778813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.

The exception is if DH and I aren't hungry yet... We cook for Chloe and still sit as a family!</p> <p>When my brother and sister lived locally, we had Sunday dinner at my parents house. It isn't often, but the three of us will have Sunday dinner with my parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778809 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:56:08 +0000 Boheme 1778809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No :( DH works til midnight, and I feed DS in his high chair while I try to cook my dinner as quickly as I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778806 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:55:50 +0000 NovBaby1112 1778806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH doesnt get home until 9 most nights lately, but M and I eat dinner together every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778802 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:55:32 +0000 Alivoo01 1778802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>95% of the time - yes. I get hungry early so dinner time around 6 works for me. It gets pushed back to 6:30/7 if we're having dinner with friends, but DS will eat with us then. He might have a snack/light dinner earlier if we're having a later dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778801 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:55:05 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1778801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We eat around 5:30, right after DH gets home from work. We eat an early lunch, so I am usually hungry by then anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778796 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:53:07 +0000 hilsy85 1778796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has only been possible recently, with LO eating around 6:15/6:30 and going to bed later. Otherwise, we'd have to eat after he goes to bed at 8, and then by the time I cleaned up from our dinner it would be almost time for me to go to bed! So we try to eat with him now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-family-dinners#post-1778791 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 12:51:46 +0000 Smurfette 1778791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't. DH and I don't want to eat at 530 </p>
