My kids seem to have a big appetite for snacks around 7pm. We eat dinner at 6 and they are hungry (asking for snacks then too) but hardly eat dinner.
I think maybe it's just more a ploy to not eat dinner, but I'm tempted to just push dinner back rather than trying to get it on the table sooner.

We push it back when DH gets home around 6:30 so we can eat together. Otherwise dinner is around 5:45 or 6 for them and we eat later!

@autumnlove: The other week we were playing outside and ended up going for a bike ride right after school. Sure enough by 7pm they gobbled up their dinner. Bedtime was later but in that case it was a Friday night so I didn't mind.

I wait until DH is home around 6:30/6:45 and we all eat together every weeknight. If my DD is asking for a snack before DH gets home I give her something little but usually tolerate whining until we can all eat together as I think that is really important for family time and healthy eating habits (she sees us eating vegetables, etc.)

@Mrs. Pajamas: @autumnlove: Yes! No matter what we do we would eat as a family because thats really important for us as well. DH and I can obviously eat whenever its the kids we can't figure out the best time.
