When I was a kid, my family would have dinner at around 5pm. Who thinks this is absurdly early? What time do you have dinner?

I grew up that way too. My parents were teachers so it was easy to have dinner that early. Now, I think it is very early to eat dinner. We used to eat around 7 or 7:30, but now that we moved and don't have as long of a commute we eat more like 6:30 to 7. My husband doesn't usually leave work before 6, so it makes it difficult to eat any earlier than that.

Well i work in the evenings, but when im off we usually eat around 4-5pm as the kids have lunch at 12 when they come home from nursery, and hubby works nights so he gets up around 3pm.. so everyone is hungry at that time. When im working i usually eat around 8pm as i only get home at 7.30... so it kinda varies.

We also ate dinner at that time or maybe 5:30. Usually just as soon as my father arrived home from work. Currently I eat when I'm hungry or when my daughter wants to eat.

i think it's a good time but who the hell is home at 5 with dinner already cooked? No one in 2008 that's for sure. People get off work at 5:00 (mostly) By the time I get home, cook dinner and whatever it's 7. Though, i do like eating early. (i dont eat dinner)

i think its just great to eat with ur family at whatever time is best.....:)

I think 5 is just the right time for a "normal family" but these days that's few and far between. That was about the usual time for my family growing up in an almost "Cleaver-like" old-school way.

Depends what time yall go to bed. We have dinner at 9 or so around here. But we stay up all night too.

I've never liked eating dinner very early, we did not when I was a kid and do not now that I am the dad. It varies but generally between 6 and 8 p.m., my preference is closer to 8 but on school nights it must be earlier.
-
We try to have dinner by 6:30pm since our daughter goes to bed about 8pm.
-
We ate at 6pm, sharp. I still try to eat around then.

Kitt and I eat dinner anywhere from 8pm to 2 am, depending on how our schedules are for that night. I think 5 is annoyingly early, unless you go to bed by 9, or snack alot before bed. I would get so hungry before bedtime that I couldn't sleep!

I'm eating it right now... it's almost 8pm.

i don't think it's absurdly early, but it is a bit early for me. i eat dinner around 7, 8, or 9.
-
5 pm is early. Over here it's eat anytime you can...lol.
-
sounds early to me, my mom did this for about 2 years and around 7 pm id be hungry again. MY dad makes dinner around 7 to 8 pm.
-
