Re: Meals, ugh!
We have a hard time with "meals" right now because we don't all fit at our table.
We used to have a smaller table in the kitchen to seat two extra people against a wall, but now my MIL sits there and no one else wants to sit at a table with her, so we have one or two kids with no where to sit comfortably.
It is really discouraging.
Still, I will try to incorporate the "no one is excused until the table is cleared" aspect, as well as maybe the "no one eats until mom is ready" idea in some way. Maybe that would help bring some order and peace back to our dinnertime.
