Now he is in our room everynight and needs one of us to lay down with him to fall asleep!! My 20 month old is a champ and I just tuck her in awake and she goes down. We really need to get better with the older one but it is so hard to convince him he is okay in his own room.

We eat together on the weekends, but generally speaking what I realized is that eating together as a family is so stressful for me during the week. Dinner time is really important to me, and I don't enjoy myself at ALL when I'm eating with my kids for the most part. Just being brutally honest! It's just too hectic, and I spend the entire time getting the kids to eat or stay in their chairs and I barely notice what I'm eating. I know in the future it will get easier and more enjoyable to eat together as a family, so for now I don't force myself to suffer, and I just eat after them!]]> In reply to Neel.

My kids are animals if they don't get at least 10 hours a night of sleep! I've let them stay up late on occasion; and when they're miserable the next day I remind them why they have an early bedtime!

Do you ever do family meals? Just curious as we always did family meals, even with littles —granted they were chaotic at times LOl— and as they grew we all shifted dinner time to reflect a time we could all eat together. Fun to hear all the different ways!

Kids are almost 9 and almost 7 and they’re in bed with lights out by 8-8:15. It’s so early compared to all of their friends and teammates. I am always blown away when we show up to 7:30AM hockey practices and I hear the other kids saying they didn’t get to bed until 10:30. That makes ME feel tired! And of course we have nights that are later too. But for the most part we do this early bedtime and they also get 10-11 hours of sleep. And I think that’s why they are generally healthy/happy kids (most of the time 😉)

I would be interested in seeing a morning routine too as I feel like the wheels have come off a bit at our house as of late. Thanks for the sharing and all that you post!
