Was just about to post a very similar post myself! Hubby doesn't get home til 6pm most nights and DD doesn't see him in the monring (he leaves about 6am) so i like for her to have some time with him when he gets home so often dinner isn't until after 7pm which then results in bedtime about 8:30pm (don't even get me started on actual asleep time). DD is only 21 months old so i am not too worried about her being up later but would love some time for the DP and i to atually spend together.

For people that eat before 6pm, does the whole family eat then? DP and I would really struggle to eat that early.
