Does it matter if they eat with you??

My dh and I have always eaten our evening meal together but due to work it has always been slightly late. Certainly too late for our lo to be sat eating with us. Does it matter if she has her dinner earlier but eats alone (with me supervising obviously!!)?

We have the same problem, so I make sure I have breakfast and lunch with my dd. Although to be honest when we haven't eaten at the same time as her it didn't seem to make any difference.

Can you eat a snack with her? And all eat together at weekends?

What about lunch and breakfast?

I usually eat lunch with DD but breakfast and dinner are at the wrong times for me so I sit with her while she eats instead. I don't think it makes any difference when they're very little but I hope when she's a bit older we'll be able to have family meals together at least some of the time.
