DD has dinner between 6-7 and bath & stories & bed between 7-8(9 sometimes!) I don't care if its child care or not, she gets offered what we eat and it's up to her how much she eats. She generally eats a bit but she's also one of the kids that like proper meals (sandwiches don't really appeal to her).

With days when I work, I try to have part of dinner cooked so just maybe some veggies to quickly cook up to incl for dinner.

Ps; congratulations on new job!
