1bassoon Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 when you go to bed at the same time as your children? Just wondering. . . . . ever since mine have been little, I have really hated going to bed within 30 minutes of when they do. I feel like I'm being sent to bed early, kwim? But my dh goes to bed as soon as the kids are down, so he can get up early. In theory. :D Random thought for a Saturday night. Am I kooky? Oh, and my 17yo dd is an early-to-bed girl; she's often down by 9 pm, and up at 6. Strange, I know!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I know what you mean! I want some time awake without them awake, and I usually only get that at night! It's like having brain space or something. I need a little peace by 9:00. Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 My oldest is 13 now and stays up until 10pm. At first, I felt that was unfair because it only gave me an hour or so without kids. So, in a way, I guess I did feel like I was being deprived of the treat of childfree time. Now, if I need childfree time I just go to my room or office.

Parrothead Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 when you go to bed at the same time as your children? No. When I go to bed the same time as dd either I'm sick (9 pm bedtime) or she is having a special treat (11 pm bedtime). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) LOL No. No. Never. I wish I could fall asleep that easily. I used to love when my children nursed me to sleep. ;) You thought it was the other way around, right? My 17 yr old has been asleep for hours and will be up by 5. My 16 yr old went to bed at 9:10. (He dones't have any electronics in his room, and his cell phone is on the kitchen table). I've never been a stickler about bedtime. Of course...my 10 yr old is wide awake reading in her bed. Dh is sleeping. Edited January 24, 2010 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammaruss Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I am normally in bed before my youngest ds!! I usually go to bed around 11 and he stays up another 1/2 hour-1 hour to read. He gets up at 7. The only time he goes to bed before 10pm is if he is sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneRoomSchoolHouse Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Seeing as how all my dc are young, they have a 8pm bedtime with book reading for the dds until 8:30pm. Dh and I usually stay up and enjoy the quiet and catch some TV time until 11pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 No, I really value my sleep. I know what you mean though- I used to feel that way a bit, especially when I didnt get so much free time. But now that I get plenty of time to myself, and it's holidays, I am frequently in bed before my kids. I am however usually up well before everyone. I prefer to have the house to myself at 5 or 6am, when i am fresh, than at 10 or 12 uin the evening, when I am tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 As a kid, I hated being the last one awake in the house. Now, I hate NOT being the last one awake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
