What time do you usually eat supper?

[Diane]

I was just wondering what time you usually ate supper? I was reading the other thread about snacks and noticed that some of you eat really late... We usually eat at or around 4:45 - 5:00 unless dh has to work late. He usually leaves work by 4:00 and gets home at about 4:30, and I'm done at 4:30... so that time usually works pretty good for us. I'm supposing a lot of it depends upon what you time you get off/home from work.

MM! We usually eat between 3:00 and 4:00. That's around the time HH is finished for the day. If we're eating out, around 6:00 or so.
Our days usually begin around 5:00. We wake around 4:30.ßß!

Between 6-6:30. DH is usually home around 4:30-5.

Anywhere btwn 5:30-6:30. When dh is coaching he usually isn't home until 6 or so. I try to have us all wait to eat as a family, but if dks are hungry and supper is ready I will let them eat. His basketball schedule varies, so there will be times this winter when we eat earlier again. :)

We usually sit down between 5:30 - 6:00.

We eat late because I don't get home from school until around 7:00 or 7:30, so that puts supper at 7:30 or 8:00. When I get finished with school, it will be earlier.

We usually eat between 6 and 7. If dh is working late I feed the kids and myself earlier. During the summer sometimes it's even later. I can remember eating around 9 when dh was still farming! UGH! If it were completely up to me, we'd eat around 6 every night just to have it done and out of the way so I can move on to other things.

We eat between 5 and 6 - depends on if it's a dance night, or girl scout night, or a night when dh works his 2nd job.

Usually around 5:00 p.m......as with the rest of you, it varies according to what is happening that particular evening. We usually don't eat supper with dh....he works until at least 6:30.

It fluctuates alot depending on when DH gets home. I never know what time he's going to get home either. Since he's never home before 5:30 the earliest we eat is 6ish. He frequently gets home between 6:30 -7:00. Those nights we eat at 7-7:30. The kids have a 9:00 bedtime and we've already just finished eating intime to send them to bed. Sometimes he'll call and say he isn't making it home until after the kids will be in bed. Then it's just the kids and I. We'd rather attempt to eat together most of the time even if it's late then never.
