Parents assemble: kids age & bed time
Posted on 8/26/21 at 8:50 pm
Posted on 8/26/21 at 8:50 pm
Wife and I are not in agreement here.
We have 2 girls 7, 5
One boy 1
She is adamant about getting them in bed by 7:30 minimum every night. Weekend rolls around and life happens, softball, dinner, etc. And at 8:00 they are tired and bratty.
I think we need to bump the bed time up for at very minimum the 7 year old, and probably the 5 year old too.
What say you?

How do you feel about spending essentially no time with your children during the week?
Posted on 8/26/21 at 8:52 pm to BoogaBear
Are you saying you think the kids should be in bed by 7 every night, including weekends?

When are they waking up? Do they wake up at the same time regardless of bedtime?

6 and 3, 8:00 pm during the week and we try on the weekends unless there’s something going on.
6 year old is always tired, goes 100 mph all the time, have to wake him up during the week, gets up earlier on the weekends, never naps
3 yo will At least randomly pass out in the car or while watching tv still.
Earlier bed times seem impossible, 8 is hard a lot of nights

On school nights:
4 year old goes to bed around 8:30
12 year old goes to bed at 9:30
We let them stay up later on Friday and Saturday.

Shoot for 8:00 on school nights but usually 8:30.
Around 9:00-9:30 on weekends. Mine are around the same age but no baby.

My 2 year old daughter likes 730, my 4 year old son likes 830. Just let them naturally find it after trying to force it on them, makes for a much more peaceful bedtime.

7 & 10.
7 year old son likes to cockblock so he’s melatonin’ed earlier. 10 year old Daughter does her own thing and is usually out before 9.

8 and 6
In bed around 8 or 8:30 during the week and they're typically sleeping before 9. On Friday/Saturday I don't care when they go to bed but they generally get tired and want to go to bed by 9 or 10 at the latest.

7:30 is pretty early imo. Mine was always 8-8:30 when she was little. Hell I didn't get home from work until 6 most days.
Now she's a teenager and stays up later than me. I don't care if she stays up until 3am. Her arse is getting up at 6:30.

We shoot for 830 for 4, 6, and 8 year old. Wake up at 630. The earliest we ever put them down was 8 and our kids do well with it but I do think it depends on the kid. Ours will stay up til ~11 on the weekends if we let them. They’re supposed to get 10-12 hrs/day, including naps.

8:00 pm is about as early as I would go. There has to be some time as a family together after work and dinner. We started the bath and book process at 7:30.

9, 7, and 2
Try to get them in bed by 8:30, usually closer to 9, sometimes after. Don't even know how 7:30 would be possible most nights if you have them doing any sort of activities.
