Her BF’s family don’t do this and she appreciates our dinner table so much more now! I did the same as my mom, dinner on the table at 6ish, we all eat the same, and just spend uninterrupted time together xx

I have teens but they learned early on I am not a short order cook. After dinner “Kitchen is closed.” Good Job Mama!

My two are super little so we’re a ways away from this (2.5 years and 6 months), but I look forward to this. Am also encouraged by the hard line re food and that it’s been well received by the kiddos, especially your picky eater. My toddler is so picky and the constant back and forth to the kitchen to find something he’ll eat that night is exhausting! Would love your easy weeknight meal tips

I did the same when my kids were younger. One meal and you must eat it or get a snack before bed until the next morning. Enjoy this next chapter!

My young adult children continue to say family meals were by far their favorite tradition and we did that most nights despite the challenges of extra curriculars—it gets hard in high school btw—but we did it and it was well worth it! Also kids look to us for the scaffolding—too many decisions overwhelm them so it makes sense you pick what’s for dinner and they get to decide to eat it or not. They won’t starve 🙂 Good for you guys!

I’m jealous but this has inspired me to get us to a place of cohesiveness with our nightly meal. It’s currently the bane of my existence.
