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...
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.
We usually try to eat around 6-6.30 but it depends on DH work. DD eats with us before her bed time. I'd love to do it earlier, but DH wouldn't get to see the kids otherwise
