We usually have dinner sometime after mom and dad both get home from work. During the school year, I have to pick up my son at after care before 6, so, I am usually home to cook by about 6:15. My husband normally get home about 6:30, so, we usually eat and are ready for homework and such by about 7:30. During the summer, my husband takes my son to camp at his work sponsored YMCA program, so, he gets home about 6:15, so we eat somewhat earlier in the summer.
I don't get the evening school programs that start by 6pm. Who has time to get home from work and eat dinner and get back to school by 6? If it weren't for needing to pick my son up by then, I would probably still be at work at that hour. So, those evenings are McDonald's nights.
