Calling all Moms and Dads

Most the time I try to be in bed by 11-Midnight, but I am a night owl by nature, and enjoy the time to myself so its hard. My children have me back up at 7-8 every morning though so every once in a while if I've gotten to bed late for a while I'll end up crashing and going to bed at 9:30-10 just to catch up.

Now that I have kids I'm up much later doing the work I could not get done during the day. I probably get to sleep around 2 AM and am back up by 8 every day.

I definitely go to bed earlier than pre-child days but I still stay up til about 11:00-midnight. During the day I am cleaning house and coming to mylot (gotta do that) then kids get home from school. So the evenings are when I get to just kick back and relax, surf the internet, watch something other than G rated on t.v. or whatever I feel like doing.

i think you should try to make a habit for your child to go to bed early.but you know that in this site all people are from diffrent contries and the time can change for different people

Sleep ? There is such a thing when you are a parent? It's been so long since I have gone to bed before midnight, and actually stayed asleep till six am without a child waking me I have forgotten what sleep is. So I guess the answer to your question would be that I start longing to go to bed at about nine pm and actually make it there about midnight after i wash the dishes , fold the clothes, and do a bed check to make sure everyone is properly asleep .
