To think eating dinner at 10pm is too late?

[Lemonaade]

For context- DPs turn to make dinner and I’ve just got DC to bed after doing everything with them today and he still hasn’t started it, says it’s going to be around 10. He always ends up making dinner around 10 or later and while I’m grateful he’s making it as I’m sometimes just too tired as I do it mostly, I’m usually ravenous by the time we have it and tired.

He’s pissed off because I’m hungry now.

AIBU -10pm isn’t late
YANBU - 10pm is late

Either he is very over weight and eats several meals a day, or he wakes up very late and all
his meals are later.

Either way, this may be normal for him but it's not normal for the majority.

You know YANBU OP, I'm surprised you're even asking.

As a pp says, it is not very good for you to eat so close to bedtime, and go to sleep on a full stomach. Anyway, lying down after a meal would give me serious indigestion.

What is he making that will take until 10pm?

That's far too late

Do you not have a meal with your children in the evening? What and when do they eat?

It would be way too late for me. We all eat dinner together at about 6/6:30pm, I'd be ravenous before 10pm.

Definitely later than average.

We eat 8-9 because of older children's activities and it's better giving them a snack before they go out and do physical things than trying to cook a dinner by 5 so they can digest it, then end up feeding them again later, and having congealed, kept-warm food or having to cook again anyway.

There is always the slowcooker but sensory child does not like slowcooker food which would be the simplest option

I'm up at 4 am so eat any time after 5. Late dinner seems awful unless I am in Spain!

My DH does this to. Often he's working until 7 or 8pm and he feels that he needs time to relax before cooking but he then loses track of time so we always eat at 10pm when its his turn (or later - midnight or 1am are not unheard of if he's REALLY lost track of time). It pisses me off at times, but the alternative is either I cook or I nag him, wait, nag him some more & its still dinner at 10pm anyway. To be fair dinner can be late when its my turn too, sometimes I've been playing with the kids and haven't realised the time either & getting them fed, bathed & in bed can take a varying amount of time/if the 1YO is fighting sleep or whatever so I can't point my finger too much. It's annoying though.
