Seems like dinner time is melt down time lately. The kids get louder at that hour. Ben cries cause he's hungry. Claire loses interest in eating and is usually the first to leave the table. The kids choose to not eat the food they are given. And we have ended up disciplining the kids during dinner through time out while we're eating.
Alicia and I don't know what's going on. But it's very frustrating. It could be that the kids need correction or it could be that our expectations of a Norman Rockwell dinner experience of smiles and civilized passing of food is unrealistic with 5 kids under the age of 10.
Something's gotta give though. We can't keep doing this.
