[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never ate dinner at a separate time from our kids. Dinner time was dinner time— for everyone. It wasn’t at 5 pm and there wasn’t “kid food” and “adult food.”  There was (& is) just dinner. We aren’t strict at all, but we just never did meals, etc separately (nor were DH or I raised that way). [/quote]

What time is that? We always had at least one adult who didn’t get home til 6:30 or 7. That was just too late. Are people leaving work at 5 or before? I mean pre pandemic. Both parents? How do you afford DC?? [/quote]

We are just like PP above. DS who is now 6 always ate with us, even as a toddler in his high chair.  But his bedtime has always been 7:30-8pm, usually more towards 8pm.  We eat around 6:30-7pm.

We live in DC, just north of Capitol Hill, by H St NE.  No one we know gets home at 6:30 or 7.  Maybe because the commute is short and not 45 minutes plus like in upper NW.[/quote]

We live in the burbs, our commute is 15-30 minutes (H 15, me 30) ... I work 7-3:30 and home by 4.

My H worked 8-4 home by 4:15.[/quote]
