What time is dinner (or tea, whichever you prefer) time?

[GreenTeaBlackCoffeeAndRedWine]

Visiting a relative today, and she was making dinner for her children (and herself) at 3.30pm.

Just made me wonder what time you have dinner in your house? Just curiosity really.

I usually make dinner around 7pm but then again I have no kids myself.

Usually about six o clock for us.

About 5

Usually about six o clock for us.

This was about normal for us when we were kids, my parents would make dinner for the whole family at about 6pm. I prefer eating later nowadays

With kids (young) - 5.30 currently. My preference 6.30-7ish

6-6.30 for whole family.

7.30 after the kids have done to bed, typically. I'm not hungry at 5 when the kids are.

5.30-6 if eating with DD (15 months) otherwise 7pm if just me and DH

7.00 -7.30

Based on when DH used to work in the city, now he works in the front room we still eat at this time.

Somewhere around 8 8.30, no kids

7.30 to 8. I'm starving later if I eat earlier. I guess that's why we used to have supper.

7.30 or 8

Or 9/ 9.30 if it’s all going to shit.

Teen step kids - 7.30/8 when they are here

Any time between about 6 and 8.30, depending on who's out and when (teen DCs). If we're all home for the evening it tends to be about 7.30.

@UberMullet that's like me, if I eat at 5pm I'm snacking all evening. If I ate at 3.30pm every day I'd need a second dinner at about 10 haha.

Around 7 now, but 5.30ish when the kids were little

No kids so 8.30 - 9.

I like to eat as 6:30 as a family but if DH is late home from work it can be 7 or later. 3:30 is ridiculously early!

We've always had our evening meal all together between 6-6.30.

I prefer two meals a day, and much prefer a late breakfast at around 10.30 and a late lunch at around 2 or 3. My ideal world would stop there and just have something like cheese and biscuits or fruit in the evening.

7/7.30pm for me
DPs goes in the microwave and he eats it whenever he gets home so between 8 and 10

Around 5.30/6pm

5:30-6. Used to be later before we had a child but we’ve both found we like eating earlier.

@dudsville that makes me wonder if the relative I mention is like that as well. She does get up at around 5-6am though so she might just be on an earlier schedule

Anytime between 4pm - 8pm.

Pre kids between 7-8, but since having kids, we aim for 6. I've never understood why people feed their children their evening meal at 3.30.or 4, it seems so early (and mine would be badgering me for food all evening)

6.30 ish
