we eat together at the table as a family - unless the kids are starving and i'll let them start before dh gets home. once a week i run out and walk as soon as dh gets home so sometimes i miss the beginning. they eat what we are eating unless it is something you wouldn't expect a kid to eat (i.e. spicy) - they must try it and if they don't like it they can make pb&j or a bowl of cereal. as for milk the little one drinks it - the big one has water. they have to make a good effort on their dinner or they get nothing else for the night. i save the plate in the fridge and reheat it later.
