Do you live in a retirement villa? Seriously my GRANDPARENTS ate at 4pm cause that is when they offer the 'seniors discount' in restaurants

I cannot imagine having dinner at 4pm ... are your 'evening extra curricular' things for children being held at a 'normal dinner hour' in your community cause I know some sports or dance things I see in our flyers that come out can be at 5:30 pm on families and I always wondered 'when do you feed your kid than'?

I personally think 7pm is the ideal bedtime for children because depending on their age they should be getting at least 11-12 hours of sleep at 'night' right up into 10 years or so and than napping during the day if they need more like 12-14 for the under 6 year olds... so going to bed at 7pm means they would be waking up ideally between 6-7am and well with most working parents schedule that should ideally give them to to get up, have breakfast, get dressed and to work without 'stress' of rushing them.

We eat dinner at 5:15ish cause we often have extra curricular things we engage in to get to for 6:30.
