I have tried for years to have an earlier supper. But my husband repeatedly has asked for supper around 8:30PM in the summer. He works a full time job and then comes home to run our farm and doesn't want to come inside until dark, even to eat. Which makes bedtime later for our children, even the baby and toddler have been moved into this rhythm. They get the appropriate hours of sleep, just wake up later and go to bed later. I've just had to accept that this is okay for us, it is what helps my husband the most, and do all I can to ensure this still gives us a calm and peaceful evening
Remember what I always say: As with everything here at the SFH, the best thing is for you to take my ideas, which come from my experience of escaping feminism to enjoy the gift of 45 years of marriage, seven children, and more than a score of grandchildren, and apply them to your situation with discernment, prudence, and confidence — and a sense of humor!
