We do eat a fair amount of build your own meals (burritos, chilli etc) which can get a bit messy. He does go change out of school uniform if tomato based food is involved.1

My gran gave me some advice when I was about to get married (forgetting I would be at work and coming home in the car with husband)
When it's nearly time for your husband to come home, set the table, change out of your housework clothes, comb your hair, put a little lipstick on, ready to greet him home from work. From that nugget of inspiration, I dont think she wore her apron at the table.3 -

So did we but school uniforms were probably a lot more expensive in those days. My mother had to buy them from a school uniform shop not the supermarket like most parents do these days.0
