[QUOTE="Andy, post: 194434, member: 5096"] Fortunately, difficult child has boughten into the fact that he needs to be asleep by 8:00 on week nights. Tonight he was asleep about 8:30 (I think as the days get shorter it will be easier to reach that 8:00 goal). He asked if he could read a little bit first (8:20). I told him five minutes. As I was making copies this morning for the Church President, I was explaining why I would not be at church council meetings or the mandatory board meetings tonight and the next two weeks. I told him that difficult child needed to be home at 7:00pm to be asleep by 8:00 pm. difficult child kept saying, "It's only one night per month - I can stay up one night per month - I have done it until this year!" Oh, difficult child please be quiet, you are not helping matters. I told him that there is PTL and until January there will be Board of Education to be up late for. There is also a kid's club on Monday nights he wants to go to. I told him that these others things had to come next after him coming first. I will not add on church council and the three upcoming mandatory bible studies. husband goes to those. husband said tonight's mandatory bible study was very scarcely attended. I wasn't the only one who couldn't make it. Until this year, I have not had a set bed time for my kids so evenings are not stressful, just low key and mostly quiet. [/QUOTE]
