Yeah, if it's just the two of you, as in our house as well, one dinner. But as we're now both working from home (I'm still getting used to having company every day
), we have different lunches probably 75% of the time or more. And I usually wander into the kitchen between 11:45 - 12:15 and my wife more like 12:30 or even later.
In fairness, most of our friends (including my brother) with children have two separate dinners pretty frequently, and sometimes even different dinner times, with the kids eating more around 5 or 5:30 - which I still can't comprehend since I'm usually still working then,
