    Do you really mean you son eats all his meals at school during the week?
    It won't be 'at school' as in every meal is in the dining hall. If it's like the one my DD attends, breakfast will be toast/ceral in the wrap-around care premises (a 'port-a cabin' at DD's school) then a school meal at lunch time, then they get somethign to eat after school.

    Sometimes its just nicer and easier for the child/ren to eat with their peers at a reasonable time than mum who has had only 10 mins to make dinner for 5 then rushed to eat because its getting late.

    Our DS is 6, so at primary school. We also have a nanny, who looks after him before and after school, if he's ill, and half-terms and holidays. OH and I both work full-time.
