What time do you usually eat dinner?

The Thanksgiving dinner discussion in UOs made me curious. And hungry.

We're all over the place. LO eats at 7pm every night (we don't get home until between 6 and 630), so we work around that. The ideal is one of us feeds her at 7 while the other finishes getting dinner ready and we eat right after she does while she plays in either the high chair at the table with us or in the PnP in the kitchen. BUT that happens maybe once or twice a week. I'm solo a lot so I'll eat quickly right when we get home before getting her fed, or make something that doesn't require a lot of babysitting while I'm feeding her and eat right after. If MH will definitely be home for bedtime we sometimes eat right after she goes down at 830. No consistency, really.

We used to eat at 7:45-8 after the kids went to bed, but when DS1 was about 2.5 we started eating all together as a family, so we eat at 6.

If I'm working, I cook before I leave, so the kids eat about 5:30, and I take mine to go. DH eats his after LO is in bed.
If I'm home, I'll cook and we'll eat after DH gets home from work, around 7.

We used to eat around 8 or 9, since DD started school she needs to be in bed by 8, so now we eat around 5:30 or 6.

We eat at about 630. I'm nursing lo to sleep from about 6-615 and DH cooks dinner while Im doing that.

It's so lovely to walk downstairs to an almost ready dinner!

Usually 6. LO eats at 7. On nights I work, I eat before I go.

8 or 8:30. I don't get home from work until 7 and I often try to cook something from scratch which tends to take forever.

We aim for 7, but it tends to end up more around 7:30 or 8.

Bedtime is 6, so dinner is 5. We are early birds.

Ours depends on MH. If he is working on shift days, he doesn't get home until 7:30, so we eat anywhere from 7:30-8:30 on those days, depending on the meal. If he is on shift nights, he leaves by 6, so we eat around 4:30-5:00. If he is off, it totally depends on the day. Today, we shopped and were out until after 6. It's 7:30 now, and we still haven't eaten.
