We don't. DH and I don't want to eat at 530
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
My DH doesnt get home until 9 most nights lately, but M and I eat dinner together every night.
-
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.
-
We eat together every night as a family at the dinner table. The exception is if DH and I aren't hungry yet... We cook for Chloe and still sit as a family!
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!
-
Yep. Me and the two girls.
-
@grizz: UGH. My DH is on the same schedule. IT"S SO HARD. and SO HARD is an understatement.
-
Yep almost every night around 6. 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!
-
Yes, the kids eat much better when we all eat together.
-
Yes, we eat with the kids.
-
Not hard to do right now since it's the two of us!
-
We all sit at the table but she's the only one who eats (since it's so early). We do family breakfasts on the weekend.
-
We all eat around 6:00-6:15.
-
No - kids eat at 5:30 and DH gets home around 6:30pm
-
Yup but it didn't happen until her bedtime was later.
-
We eat as a family of four on Mon-Wed. I eat (or just sit) with the girls the rest of the week,
-
No. DH does not get home until 7pm or later during the week. LO is often in bed between 6:45 and 7:30pm most nights.
-
We do. We eat at 5:30. I finish Crossfit at 5. I WANT TO EAT. I also eat at noon and 3:00, so....
-
Yup. We all eat at together at 6:45/7
-
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.
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
-
No. I want to, but we're not there yet.
-
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!
-
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
-
@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!
-
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.
I did tell DH that as of tomorrow when we move I want to stop eating on the couch and eat at the table.
-
Yes, DH really hated eating at 5:30 too but i felt really strongly about eating together. Lately dinners have moved to 6-6:30pm and it works better that way.
DH works til midnight, and I feed DS in his high chair while I try to cook my dinner as quickly as I can.
