    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.... )

    We eat around 6ish every night - I like to time dinner being ready with DH coming home from work, and we all eat together.

    Dinner at six here, unless there's a domestic catastrophe, then it could be a little later. We all eat together, if the Man is out/late/etc we eat without him.

    Second sitting (for me) is anywhere from 6.30pm to 10pm, midnight snacks after that.

    We generally all eat together at around 5.30ish.. if the girls are tired we eat earlier, or if I am working DH eats with the girls around 5.30 and I eat when I get home.

    on the rare occasion we don't eat together, we sit down while the girls are eating and eat ours much later.

    Between 6-6:30 here. I would love to have an earlier dinner time but realistically it isn't gonna happen anytime soon with Dh's work hrs and the things the older kids do outside of school time.

    We eat around 6ish. If we have friends coming over for dinner and they don't have kids, we'll sometimes sit down with the kids at 5.30pm while they eat, do the bath and bedtime thing and then eat with the friends around 7.30pm...
