[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 239496, member: 6271"] I agree that parents deserve a quiet and peaceful dinner. Since the stuff your kids are doing are all learned behavior...name calling, ect...I feel that it is the best choice to hand out a consiquence on this. Until the children are sitting quietly and completing a meal together without insults and fuss meals will be served at ....(early) and then there will be no discussion after everyone goes to their room and stays in thier bed until morning. Then serve them a plain and boring meal nutrisious but undesirable. You and hubs sit down to a delicious meal together and make a point of talking about intrests not the kids. Bring funny stories to the table so that in adition to the sulk, sullen, indignance the children are suffering they are hearing you two having a good time. Who ever does not complain and acts co-operatively first is the first kid who is INVITED to join the parents for dinner, and share the delicious meal rather than the intentionaly dull but servicable meal that is offered early. Later in the week. Is it 'unfair'...I think not. Children can and will learn whatever we are committed to teach them. If eating the cheap bland boring meal and spending evenings reading in their room is all they want to learn then there you go. meanwhile you and the hubs have dinners pleasantly together either way.
