HomeAgain Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 It's supposed to be 6pm. However, it's usually more like 5:45 due to being sandwiched between ds's activities. Dessert is at 7pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS Mom in NC Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Anywhere between 5-7, but most nights between 6-6:30. It all depends on husband's and daughter's work. He works from home remotely in a state that does Daylight Saving Time on Eastern Standard Time for a company in another state that doesn't do Daylight Saving Time where most people go into the office on Mountain Standard Time. When he needs to directly interact with another employee, it's on their time, not ours. Daughter works at a local grocery store and management these days doesn't respect employees enough to give them a regular schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Sixish, as we often have (mostly virtual) meetings or activities at 6:30 or 7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilaclady Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Lately it’s been between8-9:30. Kids have late activities and we try to eat together when we can. Before last year it was 7-8 for along time as that is when DH gets home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 For years, it was around 6:00. However, this past year I have been bumping it up to 5:15-5:30 most nights because of various family members' evening activities. Dh usually gets home about 5:15, and activities start anywhere from 6-7. My kids at home are not "kids" anymore, but we still like to eat together when we can manage it. So that little slice of time works well. I kind of like it earlier, now that I have gotten use to it. Then my chores for the night are done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Around 6pm, after evening horse chores. I usually get dinner assembled ahead of time so we can eat as soon as we get back in the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie G Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We’ve been eating between 6:30-7 but I’m trying to back it up to 5:30-6. I want to be able to go outside after dinner and get some work done, whether it’s yard work or in the wood shop. Summer heat bothers me so I can only be outside before 11 and after about 7, so I want to eat earlier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Dinner every night is at 6 pm. (Except on Sunday -- we eat when we get home from church.) Growing up, we at dinner at 4:15 every night. So early! My dad got home from work at 4 pm, took a shower, and was ready to eat. There was a Seinfeld episode in which Jerry is outraged because his parents try to take him to dinner at 4:30 to catch the early bird special. "4:30?! Who eats dinner at 4:30?!" My sister and I laughed so, so hard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Almost always between 8 and 9. If we eat “early”, it’s almost never any earlier than 7:30. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Most evenings, it's whenever each person is hungry. I try to at least notice if the kids have had some kind of meal between 5pm and midnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbard Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Between 5-7 depending on kids activities and work. I usually don't have to work afternoons, but if I do I finish at 5. Husband can finish at 5 but often later, up till 7. Kids eat super quickly and leave the table as soon as they can; it's not a long, lingering kind of meal, and often I don't get to sit down at all, I'm so busy sorting everything for everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Right around 6 pm on weekdays, 8pm on weekends (ds does food deliveries Fri, Sat & Sun evenings). We are very consistent. When ds was little, we didn't participate in activities that interfered with dinner time. It was somewhat limiting, but totally worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 When the kids were younger family dinner was usually around 5 because of their activities.

I think it is early in non-little-kid-oriented families, even though I don’t really have *little kids. But my butt is in my bed by 9pm the majority of the time, so that’s what it is! It’s just enough time to eat, straighten up, relax, and maybe even watch a movie as a family (we’re working through the chronological Marvel universe re-watch) before taking a preventative Tums and passing out. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
