[wannabe]

6:30, every night. Otherwise it totally fucks up our evening routine.

[RoxMonster]

Usually between 6 and 630. I chose 6 in the poll, but it just depends on the night and what we're cooking/how long it takes to make.

[LeggsBenedict]

8-ish.

[rex]

Honestly, I eat 1 (small) dinner by myself early (5ish) and dinner with H when he gets home around 630. I am WAY to hungry to wait for one dinner.

I sound disgusting but my metabolism is so fast that I have to eat often.

[janegold]

Rarely before 9.

[bab]

Between 6-6:30 depending on what activities we have going on.

MY BAD!  That's when the kids eat.  I usually don't eat until after 9.  I am working on changing that bad habit.

[lightyears]

It depends. I get home at a different time every day.

[luckyval]

We're both usually home by 5:15, so it's fairly easy to get dinner for us and the kid ready by 6-6:30. Also, like wannabe said, if it's not by 6:30, the rest of our night is totally screwed

[BlackCanary]

We normally have it at 7:30, DH gets off work at 7.

[jane6672]

Usually about 6:30.

I get super grouchy if I'm hungry, and I get hungry if I don't eat often.

[alzi]

i can't even imagine eating dinner at 9 or 10pm. i'm in bed then lol.

we start cooking dinner as soon as we get home from work, so we eat around 630 or 7ish

[laceandlouboutins]

Between 6:30 and 7:00. If we eat any earlier I get hungry again before bed.

[grover]

6ish. Before H got started working out regularly we'd eat between 5 and 5:30ish. He grew up with dinner on the table by 5 pm, and he is required to eat lunch at work by 11 every day. We're normally both home by 4:30, then about 45 minutes to an hour to work out, then cook & eat dinner.

[dapotato]

the earliest i ever get home is 7:30. so rarely before 9. mh eats way earlier than i do.

[Deleted]

Most often, 8.

If I come home earlier, I'll eat earlier.

[juliagoulia]

Between 6:30-7:30 depending on if I have to thaw and cook

[hopecounts]

Usually 6:30, DH gets home at 6, Depending on what we're having I finish up cooking while he changes and plays with DD then we eat.
That let's us get DD down at 8 and we have the evening to ourselves.

Once a week we eat at around 8 after DD is in bed so we can have an adult meal without supervising DD and have uninterrupted adult conversation.

6-630.

DH is home and eating with us by that time most evenings. If he works late DS and I eat anyway and I keep it warm for him.

If I don't go in a run, I eat around 6 PM. When I run, I eat around 7:30.

[Cricket0619]

I couldn't choose because it's always different. Usually 6:30 or later.

[thelongroad]

We are usually all home together and I aim for 6 so we can be finished and the kitchen can be clean by 7:30, in time for Wheel of Fortune.

[BieberMyBalls]

Usually around 5:30, but no later than 630 if I can help it. My kids become monsters when they're hungry (even if they just had a snack ), so I try to have it ready shortly after L gets home.

[kdmac]

between 5 and 6

SS. We don't eat dinner on weeknights. We eat lunch around 2 on weekends, unless there is a birthday dinner or something out of the ordinary.

no dinner meal at all? How does this work?

[iamgrace]

Usually around 5:30. That's when the kid has to eat and there is no way in hell I am making two dinners.

[iamgrace]

Jesus. I'm sleeping by the time some of you eat.

[Deleted]

About 8; give or take 30 min. MH usually gets home from work about 5:45/6. Then he goes to the gym shortly after that. then we eat after that.

[blueballoon]

Between 6-8 usually.
