DH and I don't eat until DS goes to bed so its around 730? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner/page/2#post-1635508 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:57:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 1635508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 6:30. We both get home from work around 5:15, and then DH normally takes the dogs to the dog park, while I stay home and start dinner/do dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner/page/2#post-1635507 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:57:22 +0000 MrsTiz 1635507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We eat between 6 and 7 every night. Usually around 6:30/6:45. I start cooking once I get LO down for bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner/page/2#post-1635491 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:54:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1635491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5:45-6 is my goal. I try to have dinner on the table by 6 but as it gets nicer we are playing outside longer so it's been closer to 6:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1635487 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:53:35 +0000 Mamaof2 1635487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5:30pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1635478 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:51:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1635478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 6-6:30. Ideally I'd like 5:30 or 6 so they have some playtime after dinner and before bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1635468 Thu, 15 May 2014 08:50:47 +0000 snowjewelz 1635468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-6:30...

That gives DH and LO a little bit of playtime before and after dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1635043 Thu, 15 May 2014 05:39:24 +0000 ValentineMommy 1635043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 5:30-6. DS goes to bed by 7, so if we don't eat that early, he's not going to eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1635021 Thu, 15 May 2014 04:36:24 +0000 Pumuckl 1635021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is between 6-6:30pm mostly. Sometimes it's a little later though.<br /> And if we put LO to bed without a family dinner it's not before 8pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634971 Wed, 14 May 2014 23:47:27 +0000 katsupgirl 1634971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually around 8-830 is dinner time.

Now we all eat together around 6:30. If we go out to dinner sans LO, we never make a reservation before 7, and often not until after 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634821 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:06:11 +0000 Meridian 1634821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually cook at 6 and eat at 7. I noticed that if I ate before 7, I would get hungry by 10:30 and need to snack before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634772 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:41:20 +0000 photojane 1634772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dan works nights now, so we don't do dinner as a family. Sadie eats at 6, but I'm usually doing dishes or something while she's eating, so I eat after she goes to sleep - so, usually around 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634771 Wed, 14 May 2014 20:38:22 +0000 californiadreams 1634771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>530-ish.

We try to aim for 7 but many times end up at 7:15/7:30. I don't get off of work until 6 and we all get home around 6:30. </p> <p>We used to eat around 6:30/45 but when my hours changed things shifted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634481 Wed, 14 May 2014 18:09:38 +0000 lady grey 1634481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to eat as soon as DH gets home at 5/530. If I am running late preparing dinner then I feed LO at 430/5pm and the adults eat dinner after he is asleep. I think family meals are really important, so when LO is a bit older and can handle a later bedtime we will eat together every night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634463 Wed, 14 May 2014 18:00:21 +0000 winniebee 1634463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6/630- t goes to bed between 730/8 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634460 Wed, 14 May 2014 17:59:41 +0000 Charm54 1634460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekdays : 6pm<br /> Weekends: 7pm or later because we are usually with my parents/sister/BIL and they eat late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634452 Wed, 14 May 2014 17:55:22 +0000 Andrea 1634452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5:30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-family-eat-dinner#post-1634430 Wed, 14 May 2014 17:43:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 1634430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 6--basically as soon as E and I get home.
