    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...

    Around 5:30 for us. On the rare occasion it is sometimes more 6pm.

    We all eat together around 6.30, unless DH gets caught up at work and then he eats by himself later.
    My boys don't go to bed till 7.30/8.00. I have always kept them up a little later so they get to see at least a little bit of their dad each day. This means they can eat a little later than a lot of kids do from the sounds of this thread. It also means that I can last until bedtime without eating again, if I eat much earlier then I end up having 2 dinners.
