How do your D.C. greet their dad when he returns from work?? My hubby gets home between about 730 and 8pm and often walks into what he calls a war zone. The kids are 12 and 10 and their is quite often homework being done, or a friendship issues to deal with, one of them coming home from one activity or another and the house is not yet spotless from their tea. He wants them both upstairs in their rooms when he gets home all friendship issues homework and activities shoukd have been done so he can walk into a quiet pleasant house for a relaxing evening. Unfortunately when he walked in tonight one child was in the middle of a factieme call with her friend which was getting a bit heated and the other was being dropped off after cubs so needed a shower etc. He takes his dinner and eats it upstairs now until kids are out of his away. Adult time after 7pm apparently. Is this normal?.
