[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 466033, member: 1514"] Well the one thing I was a stickler for when I was a parent with my boys was bedtimes and I dont know why but I was. I dont remember my mom being that way but maybe she was and I just absorbed it without knowing it. As babies and toddlers my boys were in bed by 7-7:30. No later or someone would be dead. Momma and Daddy needed adult time. They really never gave me any trouble either. When they entered school we moved it to 8 and it stayed there until they were about 10. Then it went to 8:30. By Jr High they had a 9pm bedtime but I rarely had to enforce it because they never stayed up that late unless there was something on TV that they really wanted to watch. Normally they were too tired from all the running around they did that they came home, ate and fell asleep. I never had a bit of trouble with bedtimes. I will never forget one time Jamie was in HS and one of his best friends called him on a Saturday night wanting him to go out about 10 pm after Jamie was already in bed. Jamie told him flat out that there was nothing going on at that time of night that he was interested in doing, he was more interested in going to sleep so he could get up at dawn to go fishing...lmao.
