What time do you and DH eat dinner? I have seen a lot of posts when people are saying they feed their LO whatever they are having for dinner. DD eats dinner around 6:30pm and is in bed by 7:15pm. We typically do not even start dinner until she goes to bed.

I wish we ate at 6pm, like normal people, when DS does, but it's just too hectic with SO getting home at that time and G going to bed at 7. Usually, we eat around 9. Again, I hate it.
SCANDAL!
DH works nights, 3 and 4 days a week, so there are many nights when it's just me and LO at the table.
Baby #2!
I had been feeding DS dinner around 5, then the rest of us would eat at 6 for both kids to be in bed at 7. But that was when he would nurse before bed and I didn't want him to be too full of food. Now that he's cut that feeding, I am trying to wait to give him dinner until 6 like the rest of us.
When DD was this age, she would eat around 6 and go to bed at 7, and DH & I would eat after she went to bed. But then for awhile her bedtime became 8, and that was too late to start cooking our dinner, so we shifted earlier. I like eating earlier, but it is a rush between DH getting home and getting dinner before the kids' early bedtimes. It's a constant struggle.
ETA: And I should say we aim to eat at 6. Sometimes it is closer to 6:30 and bedtime is really rushed. Or sometimes I make the kids scrambled eggs to eat at 6 because the main dinner isn't going to be done until 7.
