For those whose teens go to bed very late….

…what are your teens doing after 10pm? My kids are usually in bed by 9:30 and I go to bed between 10:30 and 11pm. I know many tweens and teens that go to bed later than mine. I’m not judging, I’m curious what they’re doing. I feel like my kids wouldn’t know what to do for so many hours after dinner.

Homework. He has low processing speed, an IEP, extended time, etc. I sit next to him, and sometimes I help him. Or chivvy him to bed (but he hates that).

Reading, music - playing or listening, hanging out with me.

xbox
sneaking out to play basketball at the school
sneaking out to meet friends at 7-11
sneaking out to do things I'd rather not know about
watching youtube and doing a million other things on his phone or computer

For awhile I thought he was actually in bed after 11, but then I found out he was getting out.

Consider yourself lucky if your kid isn't doing this stuff!!

They’re still young (11 and 13), but this may be in my future, so I’ll count myself lucky NOW, but I know it may not last forever 😄

Also- we didn’t let them stay up all-night when they couldn’t think of anything to do-

We waited to lift the bedtime until they started asking and when it seems like they can entertain themselves and put themselves to bed after we were already asleep.
