Sunday return for 4 year old - is 4 to 5 pm reasonable?

Hi all. I’m thinking that having our 4 year‑old back from my ex around 4 to 5 pm on Sundays gives her time to settle in, eat, bath, unwind and be ready for school Monday. Does that sound about right, or do most of you go earlier/later? Thanks! 😊

My ex comes between 5 and 6 to drop my DS 5 and DD1 home because we do tea at 6 then winding down and bath/bed routine. So as long as he’s back for tea being put on the table/the very first thing on your evening wind down routine I think it’s reasonable!

It depends on how long he's had her and if he wants to do tea. It's fine as a starting point, but it's better to be a bit flexible.

I would be flexible, he might want to give her dinner?

I think it's fine, but if ex wants a little longer I also think 6pm is fine.
