I dread this time of day

EVERY SINGLE DAY.  This time of day hits and DS#2 gets so fussy.  He doesnt want anything to be held.  I get as much done with dinner as I can earlier in the day but if DH isnt home to help out its a real challenge.  So many nights I'm running back and forth between a crying baby and dinner on the stove.  Then I have to grab the baby, have DH and DS#1 eat and then I usually end up eating with a baby on my lap or I have a cold dinner.  I tried making us a really nice dinner on Thanksgiving since it was just us and it was a disaster!  My kitchen isnt big enough to make a big meal with multiple pots/pans etc, DS was fussy, DH wasn't wanting to deal with him (whole other story for another time) and I was just fried and ready to quit for the day.  I'd love to relax after the kids are in bed but its usually 9 or 930 before DS#1 is relaxed and by then I'm ready for bed.  I miss quiet, relaxing nights.

    I completely understand, except for me its DS1 who gets restless.  All I hear from 3-5 is "Outside!!"  I feel so bad because he wants to go out and play so bad, but its just too cold to go out for long periods with DS2.

    I could have written this myself. Sorry - wish I had some advice, but just know that you're not alone!

    This is my house every night. I don't remember the last time I ate dinner using 2 hands

    This for me too, but I only have one child so I can't imagine right now with two.  Ryan gets fussy bc I know he is getting kind of tired from the day, but if I put him down to nap then he won't sleep well at night I have found.  So some days I pick whether I want to struggle the night through or get dinner done.

    Do you have a baby carrier or sling? it's the only way we survive around here. Calms DD down and allows one of us to eat somewhat easily while carrying her.
