[QUOTE="keista, post: 461419, member: 11965"] DDD and Mum together bring up a good point. Fortunately for us, the kids my kids play with all have solid routines, but they don't usually coincide with ours. I do allow for some leeway, but if it doesn't work, then I reinforce my own rules. For example, DD2's bff calls the house CONSTANTLY. This is fine, but it has started interfering with our evening routine - 7pm desert followed by homework, followed by grooming and bedtime. So now, NO calls after 7pm. Sometimes DD2 gets upset, and other times she's relieved because she wants to stick to her schedule. Part of the problem with these other kids is that they are on "holiday" so they may not have bedtimes or curfews. They have to be told of your rules and must learn to respect them. After all, all kids are narcissists until taught otherwise. So, when you set that "good bye" time, make sure it leaves enough room for J to decompress before bed. [/QUOTE]
