My daughter is 10 yrs old and she stays up with me sometimes until 3 or 4 am.


WOW! My daughter (and myself) wouldn't know how to function if I let her stay up that late.

Midnight!! noway grumble

Kids need their sleep. They do their growing when they sleep.
They don't feel well and get crabby when they haven't had enough sleep.
never on my watch Winx at least I damage control 50% of the time 9pm is the latest they can be up


This may surprise you, Robert. When mine was 7 y/o, they went to bed at 8:00. But...mine slept 12 hrs.

My son is seven. Bedtime is 9pm on schoolnights, 11pm during the summer. But he gets to sleep in since I don't work right now. We'll have to ease back into earlier bedtime in another month already.grumble His father lets him stay up till all hours which makes is very difficult for me on Sunday nights when he returns from visitation.frustrated

My brother's ex-wife does the same thing with my nephew and my brother has to fight with him to get him to sleep. It drives him crazy, but there's nothing he can do about it.

Unfortunatley there are no laws against plain BAD parenting
