my kids had a late lunch and a late nap it's almost 530 and they both said they are not hungry (which is weird cause my youngest cubacub is always hungry).... but they dont want to eat it's 530  so not much time till be time cause they got to bed at 8 and 830 im thinking about just skipping dinner and going to our indoor camping tonight with smores and everything is it bad to skip dinner for them and give them snack later or what they're usually on a strict schedule so this dont ever happen really and i wanna keep them close to their bedtime and everything as possible...  am i a bad mom if i skip dinner and just go to our us time with the camping bonding time cause it usually us cleaning up all the toys going out on the porch and looking at the stars and watching a movie with our sleeping bags after we've had smores and going to sleep in the living room ??

Skip dinner. It is fine to do different things from time to time. If they are hungry after the snacks, then some fruit or veggies or cheese. :) Have fun!

my kids have skipped dinner before. They ate late and werent hungry. But i still offered dinner and we did whatever we had planned that night. They woke up the next day and were right back to their schedule. Its ok from time to time. Skipping a meal every once in a while is fine. I wouldnt do it every day but every now and then sure.

While I try my hardest to avoid it, skipping a meal is perfectly fine every now and then , so long as it doesn't become a normal thing. Personally though, I would rather give healthy more balanced snacks in lieu of smores.

a treat here and there is fine... but I make sure my kids also have healthier actual meals...

 You are an awesome Mom!!!

I have 4 kiddos............2 totally grown and an almost seven year old and one year old..........the earth will not stop rotating because you take a night out to have fun and offer them a fun snack for dinner :)   They will love and remember it :)

I am all about keeping on a schedule with my little ones.......but one night here or there is OK :)

The years flew by with my grown kids and I am so glad that I took the time to make things fun for them..........I will take these memories with me for the rest of my life :)
