What time do you eat dinner?

[CBRorBust]

Just curious. My Brother told me yesterday that his wife doesn't even start cooking until like 8pm!!! That's crazy to me! But we eat really early!

So..what time does the dinner bell ring at your house?

 

[browneyes]

Whenever everyone is hungry. Usually about 6 or 7.

Most days I eat at 3:30, the kids eat at 4:30/5:00, and DH eats when he gets home at 5:30.

Weekends we eat together, usually around 4:00-5:00

Wednesdays we go to my parents house. I cook for the whole family(Im the one who doesnt work). The kids and I eat at 4:00, and the rest of the family eats whenever they get there. Works out well because we could never fit 10 people in the kitchen at once.

You don't have an "it varies" option on the poll. Usually if SO gets home from work on time we eat about 7:00-8:00. This can change if we are going out for the night, sometimes we catch a quick fast food early like 6:00 or if we eat late after something, we have been known to eat as late as 10:00 or so some nights when we are really busy.

I voted 5 -6. We're starting to get more flexible as the kids get older, but dh won't let us deviate too much. It used to be 5:00 on the dot. Now it's between 5 and 5:30. Dh gets cranky if it's much later.

we usually eat between 6-9, depending on our schedules that night. by the time we get home (if we're not eating out downtown) it's usually 6:00-6:30. then i have to cook, or we go out. on nights when we work late or dh has class we often don't eat until 8:30 or 9.

We usually eat around 6:15. I know that DH will be home by then no matter how late he works.

DH gets home from work about 3:30, so we like to eat early, between 4 and 5. This way we can do something after dinner and the kids can still be in bed by their (early) bedtime.

I'd say between 5-7. Depending on when I start, how long prep time takes, cooking time and, actual eating. Tonight I started at 5:20, we ate at 6 but, I wasn't done with dishes until 7. (I hate that part.)

Usually between 5 and 6:30...

 

[tiggerlover]

I voted for 5-6 p.m. It varies depending on what we have going on during the day and what time we get home. Sometimes we do eat a little later, but 5:30-6:00 is the norm.

Now if we are eating out in a restaurant it is always later because most Italian restaurants don't open until 7:00 p.m.

Generally we eat between 5 and 6 o'clock, depending on when we get home from work. If we are eating out on a weekend, we will often eat earlier. We rarely eat dinner any later than 6 pm.

6-7 for me... but when I'm home in Toronto, it's like 5-6 (way too early for my tastes). LOL.
