Lunch time, nap time....provider woes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kidlove]

Some days I find nap time a "stress" to manage ALL kids to go down at the same time and stay down for the respect of the others rest can be difficult, sometimes impossible. The only other time of day, besides when others are sleeping would have to be LUNCH! This is why I have toyed with the idea of bringing your own, dont really get a ton of complaining about what is to eat however, I do feel like I run like a crazy rat, to get ALL the food on the table at the same time, as to not "upset" anyone, and keep the plates full..."can I have more ________, I need more __________,." or the all too famous "when is lunch-time I'm hungry" or (as I'm in kitchen preparing lunch) they all come in one at a time "is it almost time to eat?" you'd think they NEVER eat here. see.....packed lunches could be in fridge, "LUNCH TIME!!!" they all run in grab lunch from fridge, sit down eat...all gone? too bad, thats all your Mother packed! go to bed. Not even sure where this was going but I sure feel a little better, anyone with me on this?????
