Was just reading the pfb thread about SIL wanting to serve lunch 30 mins later than childrens usual time. I am rather shocked that many people have an exact time for meals/snacks, and deviations within those leave children flummoxed and parents "feeling guilty".
In our house we have a rhythm to the day, but no routine as such "we wake at 7am, have breakfast at 7.15am, lunch at 1pm, dinner at 5 and a snack at x, y and z".
My babies fed on demand and ate lunch when we ate, if anyone is hungry between meals they just get a snack there is no way I could manage to go for a few hours between meals and they all manage fine.
I am feeling now as if I am depriving my darlings of some ritualistic pleasures in life, so AIBU? Anyone else out there who does not live by the clock and the pfb's still survived?
