Toddler Dinnertime??

[alicia45]

What do you do about dinner time? 

Dh works late and gets home at around 6:30pm but A wants to eat at 5:30. She starts asking for "snack, peanut butter, cereal" anything that she can eat so I know she's hungry. I usually end up feeding her a sandwich but I'm not winning any MOTY awards with that. ;-) I try to save leftovers but it's rare that she'll eat them. She only likes hamburgers, meatballs, chicken and of course, peanut butter sandwiches. She won't wait until 6 or even 6:30. Well, I should say, I won't make her wait because she becomes a BEAST!

We have dinner at 5 because he goes to bed at 7. Usually has a small snack after nap around 3/3:30.

7:00 or 7:30 but she gets up from her nap at 4:30 and goes to bed at 9:00

We do dinner close to 6. If dh isn't home we start without him and he either joins us when he gets home or eats by himself.

[rjamz]

He eats around 6/6:30 and h and I eat later after he goes to bed

My H gets home after Noah is in bed usually during the week. So Noah eats dinner around 5. Usually he eats left over dinner from the night before and then H and I eat together when he gets home.

[browndog]

We eat about 5;30, at least one of us always eats with him though because that helps him try new things.

I usually try to have dinner done between 5:30 and 6. If I think it's going to be a little late, I might give him a little snack in the 4 o'clock hour. If DH is late and dinner's done, we eat without him.

He eats around 5:30 and goes to bed at 7. DH and I eat dinner after he's in bed.

We all eat together around 6pm. They go to bed at 7pm.

If H is working late then I eat with the kids as H working late usually involves his being fed.

[fusion]

Between 5 and 6ish depending on if H is going to be home before 6 and if I want to eat with them or not.

We all eat around 6pm. She can't go much longer. We used to eat after she went to bed but now that she goes to bed at 8pm, we don't anymore.

[jamaga2583]

It's usually about 6:30 before I get them fed, but since I'm SAH now, I'm going to try to get it together so we eat around 5:30.

We usually all eat around 6 but it's rare that D eats much then. He has a snack before bed because even if it's a stall tactic I cannot handle his begging to eat before bed. Most nights he has a yogurt drink (he won't drink milk) and peanut butter. Some nights he will eat the peanut butter on a cracker but sadly most nights it's just off a spoon.

[honeybee503]

We eat at 5:30 every night.

[katie]

Usually about 630, we all eat together. She goes to sleep between 8 and 830.

[thedahliharpa]

We eat between 6-6:30 but we make all meals ahead for the days I'm in the office. On Fridays DH bbqs late after they go to bed and we eat an adult dinner around 9:30.

[vthokie]

We all eat together. I try to plan quick meals if I know we'll be a little later. But normally we eat around 6

[ktstorm]

We all eat between 6-6:30, depending on when we get home. Since our schedule normally allows it, I'm a pretty big on everyone eating dinner together.

[laurack]

We all eat together about 7

Her bedtime is 830 but that doesn't usually happen. Probably 9 is more common

[tennisgal]

W usually eats around 6 and most nights MH and I eat after W goes to bed around 8. I know that we should try to eat as a family, but it usually doesn't happen.... unless I've got something in the crockpot. But W is still pretty picky and usually won't eat what we eat anyway.

[jsillyfun]

Dh gets home at six so I give may (and myself) a snack at 4. If she is still hungry I just feed her early (or even eat with her and then we just sit with dh while he eats). Weekends we eat at 5, lol.

5:00 every day. We all eat together.

She gets a snack before bedtime.

DH and I both get home by 4

[teamhayes]

They have snack around 3:30/4:30 and eat with us 

whe I have them in the weekends alone I feed them early, like 530 so I can eat in peace 

[christidee]

We eat our dinners together between 5-5:30, but DH stays home and I get home by 3.

W and I eat at 6 usually and DH is home to eat with us probably 4 nights a week. Otherwise he eats by himself. W is a beast when he is hungry so I wouldn't want to make him wait. Bedtime is at 8 during the summer.

[rubber pants]

We have dinner at 5:30ish. i usually give her a small snack when we get home from daycare at 4:30 (some veggie chips, or raisins, or some fruit).

[playswithsquirrels]

We have dinner around 6 when DH gets home. We always eat dinner together as a family, unless he works late of course.

[shevacc]

We all eat together around 7. I always try for earlier but G and I don't get home until ~6:15, I'm a slow cook, and DH usually gets home 6:45-7.

[carawestt]

6-6:30
