@maya many times a working parent will come home just as dinner starts or partway through or even after depending on the work. I know a bunch of people who start work at 6 or 7 to end at 3 or 4 too

@maya i would say 6:19 is probably right on point for us. my partner likes to work out or do yard work immediately after office hours, then we make food.

@maya I was just thinking about dinner times earlier today thanks to someone doing an AMA about life in Irish prison. Apparently they have to have dinner at 12 in the day. Bizarrely early. It might follow on from that being an old-fashioned rural thing here: dinner at lunch, evening meal then became "tea".
