What time do you have dinner?

[Baconbuttymad]

8pm

Between 5 and 7 depending on what we have on. I prefer closer to 5. I wouldn't need a snack again before bed whereas if I eat closer to 7, I need a snack around 5 so I have more calories if I eat later. Growing up tea (I'm northern) was always 5.30

6pm for us or 5pm with DGC.

Isnt afternoon tea more 2-3pm?

I don't need a pre bed snack if I have dinner at 5. However if I have dinner closer to 7 I would need a snack around 5 so I eat more if I have dinner later

Between 6.30 and 7. When the kids were younger it was more like 8-8.30 after they went to bed. Now the kids are grown up and me and DH have stomach issues and have to leave a decent gap between dinner and bed so we eat early.

Between 4 and 5pm

I can see that's unusual going by this thread.

I don't eat then until about 10am the next day.

5:30 - 6pm, ever since DD was little.

On Thursdays DS7 has to eat earlier to get to Beavers on time, so I usually make dinner for him and DD11 for 5pm, and put something in the oven to have with DH when whoever drops him off gets back. Sometimes I'll eat with them at 5 but I'm not normally hungry enough, but I'm ravenous by the time DH and I eat!

Usually between 6pm and 7pm.

Kids eat breakfast at 7ish
Neither can be arsed with taking snack for break
Lunch at 12/1pm
Snack after school (small) when they arrive home (y5 and y7, they cycle home after school or whatever club they are doing), not if we are eating super early
tea on a weeknight will be between 4.45 and 7pm. No dessert. No evening snacks.

I often don’t eat breakfast, lunch between 12 and 1 and then tea as above. No eating after tea.

Sometimes the kids will be starving after their post tea clubs (scouts / music / karate / swimming), if they can’t last till morning they have a slice of peanut butter or toast or a small bowl of weetabix (not the ten they might try and eat on a Sunday morning).

on a Friday they can have sweets after school, I don’t police that as it’s time limited. If they want to eat twenty bags of haribo I don’t give a shit.

Anywhere between 5-6:30 but any later and it seems to sit on my stomach.

Usually between 7 and 7:30. When I was a child, my parents ate later than my siblings and I did, and I hated it. I vowed that I wouldn’t do that as an adult. I’ve stuck to that vow, and we almost always have dinner together as a family.

Usually around 6 when DS come home “starving “ I would much rather eat around 7/7 30

Between 5.30 and 6.30 depending on what time DH finishes work. I don’t eat anything else in the evening but he does. When the children were little we always ate together between 5 and 5.30.

Am I the only northerner here?

When I used to eat Dinner it was midday.
Tea was at 5pm.
It's the northern law. 😁

I am a Northerner and have broken the law😁

Lunch is 1.00pm(ish) and Dinner is 7.15(ish). My Mum and Dad always had Dinner at 12.15pm and Tea at 5.30. I married a Southerner😂

5pm ish

No, I don’t eat again after eating dinner at 5ish. I eat my lunch at midday, breakfast 5.30am (mid morning small snack but no other snacks).

7-7:30 pm. Dc 6-7. DH 8-9 pm

Between 5pm & 8pm usually. Can be as late as 9pm depending on what else is going on. Youngest DC will have eaten by 6pm, the older ones tend to eat with us.

I grew up with a DM who is very rigid with mealtimes & even now she will have eaten her dinner between 4.30 & 5.30. Far too early for me!

6.30. But when DH retires shortly it will be between 4 and 5. No lunch.

There are about 5 of us who have said we eat dinner at midday.

2pm.

Between 6:30-7pm depending how quickly I get home from work and if eldest train is running late from school.

we always eat as a family 3 kids 6,7 &13

I aim for 7.30, but it usually slips a bit. Not set in stone, though.

Generally between 6 and 7. I can't eat a full meal past about 8pm so if I've missed dinner for some reason I'll just have some cheese and crackers or toast, something like that.

Whenever I'm hungry (it's just me). Yesterday it was 430pm as I hadn't had lunch but usually it's around 7.
