LOL, NOT during softball/lacrosse season! It just doesn’t work!
Yeah, it sure can seem that way, except in our case its NOT during hockey season (which for us runs early Sept through March). I'm the house cook, and with three boys playing hockey, wow, coordinating a home cooked family meal takes some effort - but we manage almost every night to eat together during the season. Its not as hard as many think, just takes some planning. There are quite a few nights where the last thing I do before I go to bed is put together a crock pot meal or cassserole and throw it in the fridge. The next day my lovely wife fires up the crock pot at the appointed time of day or when I get home all I have to do is toss the casserole in the oven and make some sides. Kids do table setting/clearing dishes.
One word: crockpot.
