Dinner with DC- what time?

What time do you eat dinner with DC?  Does DC have an afternoon snack?  If so, around what time?

What time does DC go to bed?

Dinner time is not working so well for us right now- I'm wondering if I'm doing dinner too early....

Thanks!

Re: Dinner with DC- what time?

  • We usually eat dinner around 6pm. I usually give her a snack around 3 or so. She usually goes to bed around 8:30-8:45

  • I aim for 6:00, but they usually end up eating around 6:30.  We go upstairs around 7:00 for baths, and by the time they're all three in bed it's usually a little past 8:00.

    Sometimes I eat with them, but that's usually more trouble than it's worth.  I can't even sit down because one of them always needs something.  Usually, I eat after they're in bed. 

    ETA: Snack is around 3:30 to 4:00, when B wakes up from his nap.

  • We eat around 6pm also.  He gets a snack around 3:30ish and goes to bed around 7:45-8pm.

  • Lately we've been eating about 7pm. Sometimes 7:30. Carter goes to sleep about an hour after dinner. He usually doesn't have an afternoon snack because we eat lunch around 2pm.

  • We usually eat dinner between 6 and 7 pm. 

    Ethan goes to bed at 9 and J goes to bed at 8pm.

    There are usually a few snacks during the day. Our lunch is usually early, before Ethan's school... around 11:30-12pm, so then snack around 3-4pm.

    Sometimes, if we're out, they'd eat a big snack at noon and then lunch at 3:30pm, after we pick up Ethan from school, there will be no snack other than fruit before dinner than. 

  • I let the kids snack pretty much whenever they are hungry - usually give them a small snack around 4pm or so.

    Dinner is usually around 6:00pm - sometimes a little before then, but right around that time.

    Bedtime is about 8:30.  I will let them have a half slice of butter bread before bed if they ask for it, but they rarely do.

  • He snacks at school at 3. He gets milk and *sometimes* a small snack (like 10 goldfish or a 1/2 apple) at home around 5 - depending on what he ate for lunch. 

    We eat dinner (just me & him) around 6:30/7.  

    Bedtime routine starts at 8.  He's asleep by 9.   Unfortunately, my kid doesn't require much sleep.

  • We usually eat dinner somewhere between 5 and 6 depending on when DH gets home. She gets a small snack after her nap, and it really can't be much or she won't eat anything for dinner.

    DD is in bed by 7:30
