DH has complained that he doesn't want his dinner on the table when he gets in from work!

[Dragonbutter]

He says he i'm a bit too prompt.
He gets in at 6.30pm and the kids have usually already eaten. I'm usually starving, but want to eat with him so try to have dinner timed for 6.30pm.
But he wants me to time it for a bit later.
IHBU?

bexie, there is a thread under Heaqlth I think, and it always has a daft title which consists of a well-known song title bastardised so that the title is about fruit and veg. That's how committed theyt are. And all teh people who post on it chit-chat all the time, often about ftuir and veg. And they try to eat 10 portions a day.

Go find it. Tjhe current one is called something like 'no time for losers cause we are the champignons' (laugh I nearly died)

10 portions a day!

with all your swede you must be getting close. Here they are - veg loons. They are very friendly

have started insisting that dp eat seperately to me and the kids on days he's out as he doesn't want to eat til so late that the whole night is runnig late and the kids are really late to bed, so now i eat with them at an earlier time and he fends for himself

Veg loons?

10 mins of exercise a day? Does that included hanging washing on the line?

pointy
veg loons???

oh great this is my MN career summed up
I am a very friendly veg loon
fab

We are lucky that Dh is always home by 5.30 at the latest but if he was late he would never expect us to wait for him and he would come in and do his own dinner!

He often gets in after riding 10 miles from work and then cooks dinner and baths the kids
Silly bugger has made a rod for his own back me thinks

Our routine as such is:

3.30pm Home with kids after school
3.45pm: Snack such as apple and cup of milk or biscuits. Never after 4ish though coz of dinner
5-5.30pm: Dh arrives home.
5-6pm dpending on dh's arrival: Dinner
6-6.30pm Bath
7pm: Bed for dd4 (5) twins(8)
7.30pm Bed for ds1 (18m)
7.45pm: Mumsnet
8-8.30pm Dd1 (12) goes up to bed
10pm We go to bed and Dh waits for action

I thought of veg loon as a rather warm and cosy term of endearment

Bexie, join us on the 10/10 thread - you can count all sorts as exercise.

did you now pointy, did you really

OP I haven't read all your thread but it does strike me that he who cooks the dinner calls the tune
and the time

however it is hard to be expected to eat when you aren't really hungry - conversely, to have to wait until long after you fancy eating is also miserable

could you compromise and have some kind of snack / starter with the children and then eat later with dp, about 7.30? I expect this has been suggested already
