My almost 5 yo is a mess by 6 pm. He's in bed, but not necessarily asleep by 7:15. My youngest goes to bed between 7:30 - 8. My DH works nights, so an early bedtime allows me to get some school work done.
Mine is usually in bed by 7 and asleep by 7:15-7:30. DH doesn't get home until after 9 so it gives me enough time to finish cooking our adult dinner, clean up and prepare for the next day.

DS2 goes to bed between 7-7:30 usually. DS1 goes to bed between 8:30-9, usually closer to 9. DS1 still takes a very long nap in the afternoon and that is why he goes to bed later.
Both of mine are pretty much 7-7. DS takes a 1-2 hour nap each day. Sometimes a little earlier or later, but usually within a 1/2 hour. We have not had good luck with deviating from this schedule, like we have had REALLY bad following days by letting DD stay up another hour or two. When she was younger, it was not such a big deal, but now, we pay.
Re: So, what time does your child go to bed?

We go upstairs at 8, bath til the water gets cold (1/2 hr?) and jammies/story, all tucked in by 9.
Both still nap also....DS 1.5 hrs, DD 2-2.5 hrs.
DS goes to bed around 8:45-9:00 and is asleep by 9:30 ish.
And, he wakes up around 8:30.
This does not change if he skips a nap or stays up late either.
