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!
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
