<p>I hear ya. We make it a point to eat dinner together nearly every night, but I didn’t say they were always gourmet meals… 
Frozen pot pies make a regular appearance around here, and kids love pizza so that works out okay! haha
Thanks for the encouragement! I think we manage all of it pretty well, considering. Oh, and you mentioned your mom’s child psych texts- that’s particularly funny because my mom went back to school after my father left- and she became a psychologist! I read the DSM-IV about a hundred times back then, and proceeded to regularly engage in “people-watching”, usually resulting in what I felt was a pretty professional diagnosis of a myriad of disorders amongst various members of my community…lol</p>
