What time do your kids go to bed?

**homesteadmamma** · 01-18-2006, 04:08 PM

Bedtime here is 9:30 on a school night, 10:30 on weekends although they have been known to stay up later on weekends.

Alex has to be in bed by 9:00. On the week ends we generally let her stay up until 10:30-11:00. Although we have been into movies and lost track of time until even later.

My girls (13.5 & 11) go to bed at 9pm, weekdays & weekends. My boys (7.5 & 4) go to bed at 8pm, weekends & weekdays.

I like to keep them on the same schedule because I find it makes it easier than trying to readjust them from sleeping in & staying up late to getting up early and going to bed early.

Sometimes during the summer they stay up late, like when we go to the drive in or something. But we quickly get back to normal.

Ds who is 12 has to be in bed by 9 during school nights, 10:30-11 on weekends.

Dd is 18 and goes to bed when she wants.

Olivia (12) and Ethan (10) both go to bed between 8-9pm on weeknights. Olivia is VERY hard to get up in the morn.
On weekends, I sometimes let them stay up for as long as they like, if they are well behaved.

8:30 for both boys. Usually 9:00 - 9:30 on weekends.

7pm (Bwa-ha-ha - I'm mean, aren't I?)

Maybe 8pm on Friday Night Family Movie Night - depends how quickly I get dinner & the movie started.

8-8:30 p.m for both girls (4 & 1) every night. Of course on special occasions this doesn't work out but if my girls are off schedule you'll definitely know it the next day!

The little guys go to bed at aroun 8-8:30 depends on how long it takes to do the bedtime routine and stories. On weekends Logan still likes to go to bed at his normal time and Patrick we let stay up until around 9.

The older two go to bed at 8:00 on school nights adn can stay up till 9 on weekends. But DD often opts to go to bed earlier.

Youngest ds stays up till about 9:30 unless he has not had a nap. Then he is also asleep by 8:00.

Okay, Valerie...I don't feel so badly, now!

We start reading books at 6:45ish and after Julia's 3 books, (Pat just kinda flips through all the books), they brush their teeth, Julia goes to the bathroom, and then they both go to bed. We sing to Patrick a song or two before putting him in his crib, and Julia gets 3 songs and then a 5 minute snuggle before we leave.

8:30-9:00 every night

I am trying to get her back on her other scheduale, but it is hard... On the weekends, the kids are up until about 10.....
