We pretty much have the same arrangement. I get home arond 5, start on dinner and then DH eat his when he gets home. Sometimes I just cover a plate with foil and he can nuke it if he wants when he gets home. We're usually already playing out in the street when he rolls in. Luckily homework for us does not start until next year!

I'm amazed your child will willingly eat a peanut butter sandwich 5 nights a week.


Ha, this would be my son's dream come true!

around 5:30-6:00. My kids and I get home around 4:45, and they are usually starving. If I feed them a snack, they won't eat dinner later, so I usually give them cut up veggies and hummus while I get dinner ready and feed them around 5:30 or a little later. DH gets home at 6:15, so he and I usually eat together then while the kids play. Then it's in the bath at 6:45, watching Curious George from7-7:30, brushing teeth and reading stories from 7:30-8, and then nighty night for the kiddos!

Between 7 and 11. Almost always freshly prepared. No processed foods. Newborn, so that will probably change the time table.

We eat between 5 and 5:30. We always eat as a family, DH goes in early and gets home early. If there is soccer, we need to be done by 5:45 ish to get food settled and to practice on time. My 6 and 7 yr old are in bed at 7 so we need to be done dinner pretty early to give them time to play/do homework/hang with dad before bed.

Am home before H. so I start cooking dinner about 5, kids eat between 5:30 -- 6. Put dinner for H. in oven, keep it warm til he gets home. He eats while kids are eating dessert or doing homework at the kitchen table.

7:15 - 7:45ish. We don't get home from work/daycare pick up until 6:45 and the kids (under 3) have a fairly late bedtime. It works for us.

Between 8:30-9:30pm mainly because I don't get home til after 7ish. But, this week we've been trying to eat a little earlier and with DS (instead of me feeding him first). Wish us luck!
