[quote=Anonymous]Right now my kids are little (8 years old and younger) so I put them to bed every night and then I have an hour or so to myself or with my spouse until we go to bed. We are usually upstairs around 10:30 at the latest. I assume at some point my kids might be staying up later than we do. How do you handle things like locking up and making sure everything is cleaned up? Right now I clean up everything after the kids go to bed (they help with their stuff before bed), wipe down all the counters, make sure dishes are put away and the house is tidy before bed. I also don't know if I will be able to fall asleep knowing someone is awake downstairs. Whenever a kid wakes up before me in the mornings I can literally feel the house shift and then I wake up and go downstairs. Even if its my older child who is perfectly find by herself for 30 mins in the morning I cannot fall back asleep once I know she is awake. [/quote]
