Okay this is a typical evening in our house.

I get home with kids, check email, begin dinner. H comes in, gives me a hug and chats for a minute, then heads down stairs to his computer.

Everyone comes to the table when dinner is ready. When H is done eating he goes back to his computer as quickly as possible (sometimes he will work in the yard for a bit or on the car before).

When I am done cleaning up after dinner I go down and watch TV with him the kids usually join us when they are done playing outside until they go to bed.

What could I do differently that would be "lovingly detached"?
