What time do you eat your evening meal?

[Ellabella989]

I’m ready for mine by half 6 at the latest. DP would eat his at 9 if he could. we try and compromise by meeting in the middle and having our dinner around 7:30. I’m always ravenous by then and DP isn’t fully hungry yet though. What time do you eat yours and is it the same time as the rest of your family (unless you live alone of course)?

Normally between 7 and 8. Tonight it will be later because I have a class and won't be home until 8.45.

I try not to eat after 9 because we go to bed early (permanently tired!) and I don't like going to sleep on a full tummy.

Between 7-7.30 depending on when I cba. Moved on from 5.30-6 as DCs got older and able to empty the fridge help themselves to snacks when they come in and then leave most of their dinner!

5 - 5.30.
I’m aware this makes me “common” but my stomach doesn’t care.
I’d need an afternoon tea if I was going to wait till 8.

Between 7 and 8 usually. When I was in school we would have tea about 5pm as we went to bed earlier, I'd be ravenous by bed time if I ate at that time now.

The children eat around 5 and DH and I eat around 8.30/9 once they're in bed.

Usually 8-8.30pm

I'd eat earlier around 6 ideally but dp isn't home until 5.45 and then dd goes to bed around 7.30-8 so we eat when she is in bed

Shed never wait until dp comes home
She eats at 4.30-5

Around 7pm. 8pm on some days , depending when DD is back from a club or going to the Scouts.

We always eat together as a family.

8-45-9.00pm which is later than anyone else I know but it suits me and DS.

I’m actually quite surprised that so many other people eat late too, we’re not as odd as I thought

6pm

I only get home from work at 7 or half 7 depending on how late I had to stay. I have easy foods on work nights but frequently have dinner anywhere from 7.30-8.30

I would prefer to eat between 6-7 but I’m so used to eating late now that I end up doing it even when I’m not working.

6/6.30 for me and the teen DCs, and DH if he's here, but he works late several evenings a week so I make something he can heat up when he comes in. DCs have always eaten at the same time as us, can't be doing with two separate tea times.

Usually 8.30. DH doesn't get home until 7.30 and DC aren't asleep until 8am.

Kids eat from 5-6 ish.

Hate making two meals but no real option

About 8.30pm. I don’t tend to start cooking until Dd (4) is in bed at 7.30, I’m a childminder so spent most the day in the kitchen, I need time to relax before I start cooking again!

About 7.30 to 8 usually. This is regarded as the middle of the night by my childrens' friends in the US.

5:30 pm on week nights. 7pm ish at weekends.

Between half 5 and 7
I normally have a small supper though after dinner any time between 7:30 and 10

Between 7.30 and 8. We cook from scratch every night and I’ve just got in.

My parents are night owls and stay up late, they eat at 9 or 10. MIL is a lark so eats around 5/6 and is in bed by 8.30. DH and I joke that between us we’ve evened out our family

We don't have a set time, every day is different. Could be tea as early as 3.30 then some supper later, before bed. Or it could be dinner from 6,7,8, or 9. It depends on what we are doing that day.

Varies day to day, between 4.30 and 7 but usually around 5. My DH and I will often eat separately but I'll sit with him and chat whilst he eats. Neither of us wait for the other if we are in and hungry

About 5.15 most days so that DD aged 2 can eat with us. We're lucky that DP starts early and has a five minute commute.

Sometimes at weekends DD will eat at 5 and then we'll get a takeaway once she's gone to bed.

just finished ours usually eat between 6.30 and 7

Breakfast 7.30am
Lunch 12 noon
Dinner 5.30pm

No snacks - I stick to these three meals pretty religiously and it keeps my weight in check!

Are those of you that eat at 5.30/6pm not ravenous by bedtime?

About 6pm, because my lunchtime is so early at work. I'd just snack otherwise.

We ate usually between 7.30pm and 8pm. I really could not earlier. If I ate at 5pm or 6pm I would have to eat again before I go to bed at midnight.
