I moved lunchtime up a couple months ago when I started 2 new kids. They would start complaining about being hungry at 11, and all the other kids would chime in. It's been working out nice, they are all laying down by 12, and 2 of them get picked up at 2 so they go home after a nice nap.
Just curious what time everyone serves lunch? On days I know it's going to be later we do a small mid-morning snack.

Depends on the day. On M, T, Th between 11:30 - 12. On W & F, it's 12:30 - 1 because the 4 yo goes to preschool in the AM.

11:00 for us. I have to leave the house by 2:15 to pick up school agers from school. So I have to have the little ones laid down by 11:30 for nap so they get a good 2 hours.
They eat at 11, down for nap at 11:30, up by 2.

I am trying to figure that out since school started 3 weeks ago. I used to do about 12-12:30. But now I have one coming off the bus at 11:30 and one getting on the bus at 12:05. I think 11:45 works best for me now, starting my DS a few minutes earlier so he can wash up before the bus comes (he doesn't always eat with the dck's anyway).

I start preparing about 11:15, the kids get cleaned up and head in to sit down. We are done by 12. This included feeding babies, kids helping cleaning up, and kitchen clean. The kids eat whatever is done first, like fruit, veggies, etc.

11am (sometimes about 10min before hand) my dh has his lunch break from work at 10:30 so I get his made and then start on the kids as soon as he is home and downstairs (hiding in his man cave LOL) then he leaves and we eat. I started this so that my son could go to preschool. My mom takes him on her lunch break but we have to pick him up at 2pm so we have to be in the car by 1:30pm

Breakfast at 8, snack at 10, lunch at 11:45. Some days lunch is up to 15 minutes later, or 15 min earlier.
