[QUOTE="Lil, post: 733751, member: 17309"] [I]You know, I hadn't really read the list.[/I] Did everyone have a bedtime routine with their children when they were babies/younger? [I]I'd call it a routine. Bath, snuggle, rocking...or bath, snuggle lay down and sing.[/I] Book reading/story-time? [I]I'm sure I did read to my son at night...but I read often, so it wasn't a big deal. The singing was the night time thing I remember most. He slept with his books! I remember that![/I] Bath-time? [I]Yep. He loved his baths, even as a baby.[/I] Did bedtime take place the same time every night in your home? [I]Pretty much.[/I] How willing/defiant were your kids when it came to bedtime? [I]Ugh. See above. He was willing after he was older, but only if I lay down with him.[/I] Were you strict when it came to bedtime? [I]"Strict" I don't know. I tried to keep a schedule. But he was often so sleepy in the mornings. There were times I'd shake him awake. In fact, one thing I remember vividly when he was 2, was a week of having to shake that child awake at 7 a.m. to get to work on time. So on Friday, I thought I'd be smart and I kept him up extra late, so he'd sleep in on Saturday. He woke me up at 6:00! I made him skip his nap, kept him up even later - and Sunday he woke me up at 5:30!!! I yelled at that child until he started to cry! I felt like an absolute [B]MONSTER [/B]afterward!
