Dinner

I was wondering how everybody deals with dinner time. Do you make different meals to accommodate schedules or food preference?

We have a new neighbor who moved in a short while ago. We had coffee today, and she was telling me how she has to make 3 dinners. I thought she meant that she prepares them ahead of time, but she said no.

Her two kids eat separate dinners and her husband eats another, all at the same time, because one kid likes one thing, the other wants something else and the husband always wants something different than what she has fixed.

She eats the left overs.

I went through the same thing a while ago. I got to the point where I told them, you eat what is there or you don’t eat.

Sounds like your neighbor needs to wake up. There's no way in h e l l that I'd make 3 different dinners.

:lmao: :killingme

I make one meal. If you don't like it, don't eat it. Feel free to make yourself something else, too.

During the first 5 years since my first was born, I was a senior programmer on a financial system for the government. Not only did I have a regular 8 hour job programming, I had to run schedules from home and I had to carry a pager providing 24/7 production support for when things aborted and any of the various sites around the U.S. We never sat down and had dinner together. Once I changed jobs and was able to live a normal job schedule, I joined a gym and would go there straight from work so for the next 3 years we still never sat down and ate dinner together. It is only now that they are older that I have had opportunity to cook meals that we eat together.

That would be like hitting the buffet and I'd go for it if the people in my household ate anything that tasted good. They want junk like frozen burritos.

I make whatever I feel like eating and if they want some, they're welcome to it. If not, there's the fridge.

:shrug:

See, and when the kids were younger we ate dinner at the table almost every night. Now I hardly ever see them at all because everyone has activities, work and whatever.

I am not sure if I am going to welcome that or dread it. My kids and I still sit down together but they are very young. It is something I look forward to now but wonder when they get older if it will be as easy.

I like not rushing home to make dinner, but I don't like not sitting down at the table with all of us. We haven't used our dining room in a good year or so.

I can understand that. I really like to cook so it is something that I do look forward to. I wonder when the kids are going to dread having to sit for dinner instead of "doing their own thing"
