Dinner is usually on its way to being done when DH gets home around 6pm. I may need to throw something on the grill or put a salad together, but I wouldn't start a big meal, say, a lasagna or soup at that hour. We really need to eat within the hour to get everyone to bed on time.

IMO, 3:30pm is way too early to expect dinner. My DD would be starving again by bedtime!
