We eat right when DH gets home which is usually 5:45 or. 6:00.

On soccer nights DD and I eat at 4:45. Soccer practice is 5:30-6:30.

[nowa]

Between 530 and 630 during the week. Sometime s later on the weekends.

[cna]

We average about 6:30. Sometimes it's earlier and rarely later.

[Deleted]

Ds eats between 5-6 and we eat after he goes to bed. Obviously if we go out to dinner we all eat together around 5-6.

[quesyrah]

I can't clicky because tapatalk.

We eat at 4:45

[lala]

I said 5-6, but it's closer to 5, like 5:15. One day a week we eat at 4:45 b/c of dance. In the summer it is later.

[mamaalysson]

Generally, we eat around 6:30 because that's when DH gets home. But I'll often feed the kids a pre-dinner around 5:30. And if DH will not be home, we eat at 5:30.

[melew]

I voted 6-7 (this is during the week). Most nights DH gets home pretty close to 6 and we eat immediately. One night a week we eat at 6:30 because of dance. On the weekends, I try to have us eat closer to 5:30 because that is the time the kids seem to be ready. I wish we could eat at 5:30 all week long, but I would rather wait another 30 minutes to eat as a family.

All over the place...lol

If we don't have anything happening (kids activities) I shoot for 6 but depending on what happens it could be 4:45-5 or 6:30 or 7 because of  kids stuff

We get home between 5:30 and 6, usually closer to six. So if we have leftovers, dinner is usually at 6, and if we have to cook, closer to 7. Which is tough, because bedtime is 8.

that assumes there is no T-ball or soccer that night. On sports nights, the kids get a snack before practice and dinner after. I hate that the 3&4 year old team has 7pm games.

[dizzycooks]

We eat around 5:30 or 6. Sometimes dh is home, sometimes not.

Usually 445-5...it's 5-530 during the summer.

That is so late for little kid games. Idk why organizers do that. Our ideal bedtime is 7. It doesn't always work out but everyone is so much happier when it does.

For soccer pictures last year dd's team was scheduled at 8pm. (She was 3) we didn't get started until 830 bc photographer was running behind. The team after us was the same age bracket. And started after 9. Hours of bawling kids. So.dumb.

[gastro]

Around 6pm. If DH is not home by then he will let me know if he's close and if it's by 6:15 we wait, if not we don't.

[vettymama]

Between 5 and 6 usually. Summer it all goes out the window.

ETA: my kids are younger and don't have evening activities yet

Ditto this. We usually eat around 5:15pm.

[penguingrrl]

It totally varies. DH gets home around 7:30, so he doesn't eat with us. If the kids have activities their dinners are staggered and I'll feed Drew while the girls are at karate or Julia's at dance then whoever had the activity eats after. I miss eating as a family, but H gets home too late for the kids and the girls activities go too late for Drew.

[jnksmom]

It varies each night depending on the kids activities. If we are home, we usually eat around 6. Other nights, DS and I eat without DD and she eats when she is finished with cheer practice which is 5-7:30 2 nights a week.

[cabbagecabbage]

5:30 to 6. Whenever DH gets home and it's ready. I used to think that was insane until I had kids.

[justbecause]

I try to have dinner ready for 5:45-6, when h gets home.

When we eat at my parents, we eat at 4:30. Soooo early.

[Kcthepouchh8r]

445. In the summer when dh cooks on the grill is the exception.
