What is with parents who go to ice cream parlors with their kids at 5-6 pm?

Don't most young chidlren eat by 5 or 6 pm?

I confess---I AM one of "those" parents! However at 5 30 pm i was so shocked by all the parents of other young children coming in for ice cream too...are they just on different schedules than me? Do they eat super-early? Or are they like me, seeing it as a special treat and if she gets her appetite ruined for 7ish later dinner it's okay this one time or once a month time?

What about you? Do you do this?

It's so hard to say.

We usually do a 5pm dinner if we are going out for treat afterwards so the kid are in bed on time.

 We eat dinner at about 4pm and so 5 or 6 pm for ice cream isn't that big of a deal. My kids will eat a snack around 7 right before bed time which is 7:30.

Im sure most people do this as a treat. Im so jealous. I wish i could be home from work at a decent enough time to have dinner early and then spend some time with my kids at a ice cream place. I dont even get home  Mon -Fri til 6:30 if im lucky and my DH works nights Thurs - Sun so we never all have a day home together. My kids eat dinner late every night. 7-7:30. Wish it could be different.
