  • What time do you get home from work?

    Get home from work/getting Jane from daycare about 6:45. 

    What time do you have dinner?

    After Janie goes to bed (so, like 7:30).  Dinner is basically a sandwich though b/c DH eats at work.

  • We get home at 6. I start dinner immediately and we are usually eating by 6:30-7.
  • What time do you get home from work?  9:30pm

    What time do you have dinner? Between 5:30 and 7....at work.  :(  I try to hold off on dinner for as long as possible so I am less tempted to eat again when I get home from work.

  • I've been trying to have dinner ready by the time DH gets home on his "late" days---he'll work till 6, home by 630.

    When he worked at a different location that stayed open later, on his late days, we wouldn't eat until 730-8 and I wasn't a fan of it.

  • I'm usually home around 5:20ish. H can get home around then, or maybe as late as 7, two nights he has class, and doesn't get home before 9:30.

    If H is not going to be home before 5:30, we'll all eat together then, if not, Alex and I will eat then, and H re-heats his plate when he gets home. I don't like to eat after 8, and like to have dessert after dinner, so I need to eat dinner early to have enough time to get my sweet fix in.

    Same here. My H and Jack are home by 415 or so, and I get home no later than 5. We usually eat between 530 and 6. And then I have my dessert around 8 =)

  • I work 3 days a week. So on those days I get home at 8 pm, we eat shortly after I get home. Dh is good about having dinner ready when I get home.

    On the days I am not working, we usually eat at 6:30. Dh gets home around 6:15 ish from work.

  • DH gets home from work around 4, and despite me being home all day, we still don't usually eat until 7-7:30.  I'd like it to be earlier, but it seems like there's always some "project" or outdoors chores/horse work that needs to be done, and before we know it, it's late already.

    I'd like to start collecting more crock pot recipes for this very reason...

  • I rarely ever get to make dinner anymore since I work at night :-( The nights I am off work and I do get to make dinner we eat around 7 or 7:30, sometimes later. I wait until DH is home to start making dinner so that he can watch the kids and I can have my full attention on what I am making. This only happens 3 times a week unfortunately. 
  • I get home @ 5:20, DH wonders in the door any time from before I get home to 6:30. We often don't do dinner until 7, on Zumba nights I don't settle in until 9 so it's kind of a fend for yourself before or after scenario.  

    As Zac gets older I hope to have dinner down to a science. 6:00. Be there.

  • I pick Mads up from daycare at 3, so we're usually home between 3:15-4, depending on whether or not we have any errands to run.

    If we eat with Mads, dinner is around 6, if we eat after she's in bed, it's more like 7:30-8.  We need to get better at eating with her more often....

  • DH gets home anywhere between 5:30 and 7 p.m. so it really varies what time we end up eating dinner.
  • Get home around 4-4:30 and am eating by 5. I eat lunch at 10:30 so I am starving!
  • I get home around 5:15 and I try to eat by 6:30/7:00 pm. I like to eat before 7 while H usually eats a light dinner with me and then eats again at 9:30.

    H and LO are usually home when I get there. H's schedule is all over the place so who knows when he will get home 

  • Get home around 7, usually eat around 8 or 8:30. On nights I run, I usually come home, eat a large snack, run, and then we don't eat dinner until 10, which is weird. 

  • On a normal day, I'm home around 5:30, but some days it's closer to 6:30. We typically eat around 7:00.
