When my dad was in town he came home around 5:15. My mom would send me and my brother outside with bread sticks to wait for him while she finished dinner. He had at least one business trip per week though so it wasn't every single day by any means.

ETA: At my dad's retirement party this year my brother said the importance of xoming home at a decent predictable hour every night is one thing he hopes to learn from my dad.

It changed throughout my life - when I was younger my dad always got home after my mom did (and I was homeschooled, so I was with my mom all day). By the time I was a bit older and back in public school, he got home first.

I remember one of my routines with my dad when he got home later was to hide somewhere in the house and jump out to scare him when he got home. I honestly thought that I managed to scare the pants off of him on a daily basis. It wasn't until many years later that it dawned on me he was faking it.

My dad always took the 5:13 or 5:36 train home and arrived at 6:13 or 6:36. He still does now. When I was a young kid we had one car, so we'd go pick him up at the station. In high school, he and I shared a car, so I'd pick him up then too. To this day, for anyone being picked up there, we always wait in the exact same spot as we did then.

No, he did not. Some days I wouldn't even see my dad because he'd leave before I woke up and get home after I was asleep.

Yep my mom came home at 4:30 every day and my dad came home around 5:00.
