David has his meals at nursery so he's catered for. Just us we need to worry about really. On weekends, David has his food early, as we are late eaters anyway.

Depends on what we are having. Sometimes Ido sometimes I dont!
I havnt eaten with the family for ages, i just snack on stuff when the kids have gone to bed, i usually cook differant tho for the kids and
DH it really annoys me that HE has to have differant lol
max and elise eat there tea about 5ish and then me and b/f have our tea when theyv gone to bed.
i do cook seprate meals, but the tends to be because the gurls eat there tea between 4~5ish and they all eat the same, the way i see it that u get wot ure given , in not a cafe ..lol ....and the hubby works till 7pm so cook for us about 8ish...to late i know...but when he has his days off i do try i and get uss all to sit at the table at the same time and we all eat the same, if they dont eat they dont get a pudding simple as, dont get me wrong if they really dont like something i dont force them , but they are expected to try stuff ....and not look at is and say straight away ''errrrr i dont like that '' wiv out even trying .
sorry if that seems a little harsh.

I totally agree. Unless it is something new, and they might genuinely not like it, then if they dont eat it they get nothing else! Going hungry till the next mealtime isnt going to do them any harm!! lol
the kids eat between 5-5:30 usually whereas me and the manthing like to eat together so we eat once they're in bed........so yes i cook for the kids and then for us too......won't continue for much longer but im savouring it till it stops

We all eat the same. I tend not to make things unless we all like them.

i cook twice,kids eat at 5 and me n my
DH eat when he finshes work. plus my hubbys dead fussy so wont eat most of the things the kids do.
We sometimes eat the same things but alot of the time me and DF eat on our own because the kids are always hungry before we are
We all have the same, don't want Caitlin growing up to be a fussy eater, if she doesn't eat it then not my fault lol. Yes I am mean but I don't care lol. I think eating early, not supposed to eat after 6. I only cook different things if I don't have alot of food left. Plus I think its better to get all together.
I usually cook everyone's at the same time, if it isn't eaten they don't get anything else. If we are having take out or something we know the kids don't like then I will do two lots but usually still sit and eat together.
Charlotte is fussy. She is a pest at meal times. She is getting slowly better, we have moved a big step now, she will try a couple of carrots although most veg is a no no still. George also is picky with veg but he at least gets it in his mouth and chews before he decides he doesn't like it lol!
i used to end up doing 3meals one for charly one for me and then one for chris but i refused one day and now he eats nearly the same as me there are still a couple of things he wont eat but he eats most now lol
