The TV had to be turned off at 10 (I hit the hay between 8-9) and I didn't want to hear them after that. My kids were homeschooled so they didn't HAVE to be up at a certain time. <BR/><BR/>So I would say, set a limit. 'Put yourself to bed by @@@. Lights out at @@@. No more noise after @@@.

You'll be awake until they're all in bed anyway. It was the weirdest thing when the last of our kids moved out. Suddenly we could go to bed whenever we wanted to and ... wonder of wonders ... we'd fall right to sleep.<BR/><BR/>So what are <I>I</I> doing up after 11:00 PM? you ponder.

And I *don't* always stay up until the girls are in bed. I just can't!! And I figure grouchies or no - they will learn eventually. Or not.<BR/><BR/>After all - I am a morning person and can chew butt in the mornings as needed.

Make sure its reasonable for everybody. for instance "Lights out at 10 pm" <BR/><BR/>They could have the privilege of staying up later ONLY if they read or did homework in bed with a reading light.<BR/><BR/>Then if they want to stay up later thats their choice of entertainment.<BR/><BR/>If adults abide by this rule too, then its not so hard to Chazyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742177194806364181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29833316.post-57642687020181098372009-02-20T10:26:00.000-06:002009-02-20T10:26:00.000-06:00Hmmm well my little one still ges to bed long befo...Hmmm well my little one still ges to bed long before me but I recall when I was a teenager it didn't matter when my Mom tried to send me to bed I went to sleep when I felt like it so she finally gave up and let me set my own hours.
