What time do you eat dinner?

[cupcake0214]

I eat around 7 and by time MH comes home he eats around 7:30 - 8:00. My inlaws always comment on how late we eat. They eat around 5. 

[sweetday]

I try to feed the baby at least by 7. So we eat around that time.

[tevagirl]

Around 6:30 usually.

[ginap]

Depending on what I make between 7 and 8. We generally don't get home until after 6.

[btay]

usually around 5:30. I eat an early lunch so I come home from work starving

[foodiemom]

5. My kids are so so hungry I've almost started to serve them dinner at 3:30 with maybe a snack at 7. They have a heavy snack at 3:30 and are still waiting for dinner at 5.

I think old people tend to eat earlier, since they probably go to bed earlier lol

I feed my DS usually between 5:30 and 6pm, if I'm organised I'll eat with him, otherwise I'll eat after he's in bed (bedtime is 7), so anytime after about 7:30pm.. I don't have a normal time really.

[sapphireblue]

Between 9 and 10 pm. I've always been this way--if I'm left to my own devices and not hemmed in by work hours, I sleep from around 2 am until about 8 am. Eat my first meal around noon, second one around 4, and dinner around 9:30.

Of course, my job means I can't sleep those hours but I still stick to the dinner time part!

[MrsPenny]

I work a split shift - 12pm - 9pm. I usually have something small around 7:30 and then I may have a snack or eat whatever is leftover when I get home around 9:30 or 10. SO and the kids usually eat around 7.

That's what I thought. Lol

[orangello]

We go to the gym after work M-F, so dinner ends up being around 8 or 8:30. Weekends are pretty much the same.

[aliciaflorrick]

It varies but generally we try to eat between 6 and 7. We like to eat earlier so we can go for a run later in the evening without still being full.

[thatgirl2478]

5 ish. 

But that's because the kids go to bed at 7:30.

[cereal K]

we try to eat together, and G goes to sleep around 6:30. so lately we've tried to have dinner around 5:30.

used to be 6pm when it was just C and she went to bed at 7.

before kids, it was closer to 8-9.

[missbella]

5:00 and people always comment how early it is but I SAH and DH works 2nd shift so I am on a toddler schedule. Breakfast at 6-7, lunch at 11:30-12 , dinner at 5:00. I also go to bed at 9:30 so...

[eb777888]

Between 5 and 6. David goes to bed at about 7:45 so we can't do much later than we do.

[sarahbear]

5. I eat with the kids, but we've always been early eaters. Even without kids we'd eat at 5:30. I'm starving.

[cabbagecabbage]

5:30-6 since DD goes to bed at 7 and we all sleep and get up early now. Until kids we ate somewhere in the 8-10 range and I worked until 7.

I remember my childhood friend's family ate at 5:30 exactly every night and I thought they were so weird and early.

[gennyu]

We aim for 5:30-6:00. Even prior to DS we ate on the early side (before 7:00).

[killercupcake]

When I get home from work. Anywhere from 3:30-5:30.

[wambam]

7. But if I don't go the gym/running then I eat as soon as I get home.

[Alex]

By 5:30. Insulin timing.

[Deleted]

No later than 5:30. Usually 4:30 or 5.

[imhischeeseburger]

Usually between 7 and 8. On the weekends DH and I eat later. Sometimes around 9 or 10.

[waffletime]

H is anywhere from 8-midnight. I'm usually 7-9.

[cbwm1]

We try to eat between 5:30 and 6. Bedtime for Will starts at at 7:15.

[dexteroni]

On work days, usually between 6:30 - 7:00. If we're both off and aren't going out, we usually eat pretty early, between 5 and 6. Typically on a day off we've slept in and had a late breakfast and no lunch, so we have dinner early and then maybe a snack or dessert later.

[textbookcase]

We always used to eat by 5-5:30. I get off work at 5:30 now, so I try to have dinner ready by 6. I usually prep stuff earlier in the day or have Cambria start dinner before I get home.

[dexteroni]

We aren't even home by some of these dinner times. lol. On days when DH works and I'm off or work from home, I sometimes start dinner before he gets home. But even then the earliest we would eat would probably be 6:00.

[jinkies]

The kids are staaaaaaaaarving after school and would happily eat by 5, but I only let them if we're having something like grilled cheese or eggs for dinner. if I'm making a meal, we usually try to eat between 6 and 6:30 so I can get the kitchen cleaned up before the bed time routine starts.

Before kids, we usually ate around 7. My inlaws would routinely call and tell us they wanted to stop by "after dinner" and then would show up just as I was almost done cooking. Their dinner is always and forever at 5 pm on the dot.
