Another "at the table" die hard. We don't have regular eating times because we wait till everyone can be there. Sometimes this means that the kids have fruit or carrots as a snack till everyone is home. With three kids and each child having at least one weekly activity, we would never eat together unless we waited for everyone to be home. No TV or other distractions.
My kids are great eaters so it is rare that they don't eat what I make. Sometimes I will do a variation of what DH and I are having for them if I know they don't like it.
Sometimes the three of them get very goofy at the table and that drives me nuts so we go around the table answsering a "question of the day" and we have a "special spoon" that gets passed around to let everyone know whose turn it is.
Water is served with dinner. As long as you eat a good dinner and behave at the table, a small "treat" is permitted.
