          I am not the bro you’re speaking to, but I am a parent. Dinner is sometimes at 5:15 and other days it’s at 6:45. It just depends on everyone’s schedules. So don’t assume that a random bro on the internet knows when dinner is.

            I have yet to visit a household with strict dinner times, I know they probably exist but usually it’s a very flexible time

              We had one when I was a kid, but we don’t hold to one in my family now. In fact, our daughter is really picky and won’t eat the same things we do. We generally eat when she feels like eating because it’s just easier. Of course, these days she’s a teenager and she always feels like eating.

                  If she doesn’t like what you make her, she simply won’t eat it. She will just live without dinner. So we have to make her what she wants. This has been true since she was a baby. We’ve finally at least gotten to the point that she’s willing to try new things.

                    Oh well, as long as they are at least willing to try new things that’s fine.

                    My parents just simply forbid me from leaving the table till I finished my food when I was little haha and no matter how headstrong you are, just sitting there gets old real fast.

                    Might not be the best way to go about it, but they never had any issues with getting me to eat things afterwards.

          you also broke the rules as a kid calm down.

          and if you didn’t you’re a bitch so kind of a double edge sword for you.
