6-630 most days. We both roll in around 5-530. DH goes to work early and I work for myself. Sometimes one of us have to work late but the other gets em going and eating
@myblue, we're still on Parisian dinner time, 7:30ish, later on weekends. DD goes to bed around 9 or 9:30.
But the baby eats around 5 when DD is having her after-school snack (she gets home around 4:30).
we are about the same, but we moved our dinner up to 7. DD has a half-dinner snack at 5ish at the nanny's house and then nurses at 6ish when we get home, then we all have dinner at 7ish, with DD in bed by 8pm. If we have guests over, dinner is later.
We eat around 5:30. Dh gets home around 5 or sometimes right as dinner is ready (he has to be at work at 6:30 am) and Ds and I get home at 4:15 (I only work part time).
Pre-kids we ate whenever we felt like it. Usually between 7-8. Once DS started solids we started eating on his schedule, and dinner has been at 6pm ever since. Ain't nobody got time to cook two dinners every night, no way no how.
Most nights I feed the kids at like 445..lol. They're both ravenous and I'd rather they eat actual dinner than a bunch of snacks. DH isn't home until 8 so H and I eat after that.
If it's a week where H is home early I try to cut the difference and do 7. Or do half the kids meal at 445 and finish it at 7.

I said 6-7pm but really it could be anywhere from 6-8 usually. H gets home around 6 so it depends on if I start cooking before he gets home (I get home around 5 when I'm working.. I usually wait for him to get home in case he gets stuck at work late) and what we have. Once E gets older we might get into a better routine of eating at say, 6:30. My parents always eat at 5. Always have and probably always will! They aren't very flexible about it like H and I are and probably will be in the future.
We aim to be sitting down to eat between 6:00 and 6:30 so we can do baths between 7:00 and 7:30. On weekends it completely varies since we usually grab food out while we are running errands or after mass if we go on Saturday evenings.
Somewhere in the 6-6:30 window. We leave work/pick up E around 4:30 (because my work is H's work is daycare), then it's a 10ish minute drive home, so we're home by about 4:50. Sometimes we stop at TJ's for a couple ingredients, which adds an additional 10-15 minutes (store is on our route home). E does still need a little snack at 5. We always have milk and cheddar bunnies or something for the drive home.
DS eats at 5:30/6. H is often not home before 7 which is the start of bedtime routine. Sometimes I wait for him to eat but usually I eat a little with DS and then either more with DH or a snack around 8.
