What time do you eat dinner at night???

What time do you eat and does your todder eat with you at the same time??
I'd really like to start eating earlier so we can start teaching DD table manners, but not sure...

currently both DD's go to bed at 6.30/6.45 so DD1 has dinner at 5.30 to accomadate this, though when possible and on the weekends we eat dinner earlier with her for that exact reasons and to enjoy the dinner conversations! she also eats better if we eat with her

If it just me and DH and DD, we normally eat around 5ish..

SOmetimes this means giving DD a snack to tide her over, but I try to eat with her most nights.

If we have visitors, are out, or going out, DD will still eat at this time and then have bits of ours later on..

Our time changes every night, more to accomodate DH who often works away etc.
If DH is home early enough & it's something I've already made or easily made we will all sit & eat....though DS often just plays around at the table.
If I can see that DS is not going to last til I've cooked it & it's a little more involved then I get it all ready, feed him etc then cook when he's gone to bed.
My DS is in bed by 6.45 - 7pm most nights, therefore he's always eating earlier. I myself don't like to eat this early & since DS most times doesn't eat what we are I don't push it. We basically eat when we can, be that all together or after DS is in bed. I'm not fighting with it atm as DH is often away, so I like to make it stress free. If DH isn't home I try to eat with DS most nights.

We usually have dinner at 5.30pm. DD has her milk at 7pm then she will usually go to bed when her milk finishes at 8pm.

6ish. I try to push out ds until then, but don't always get there (he won't eat what we eat anyway). Even if ds has already had his dinner, I sit him in his high chair again for five minutes or so with us when we eat, and encourage him to try some (not likely Mummy.... )
