I am so glad it worked well for you. My DH gets home a bit before 3 so I think you are amazing doing the night time routine with ur dh getting home at 6. Maybe you could try a fe wthings with dinner-

i.e slow cooker meals, cooking up double batches of things and freezing so you don't always have to cook. Lots of vegies you can cut up and store in a container in the fridge and then that makes it a bit easier at night?

So glad it is falling into place for you, I hope it all gets easier and works well for you
