[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She shouldn't have an ipad in her room.

Both of you seem really checked out. Why isn't either one of you involved with her? I don't think I'm infantilizing my kids, but I'm still reading to them at night. 8 is when they can understand better books! After that, I stand there while they brush their teeth and then I tuck them in. Are you all just expecting her to put herself to bed and barking "lights out" at her? :([/quote]

OP here. I'm absolutely not checked out. I'm just trying to get her dad to do his fair share. I generally handle all of the morning stuff (see post above - he just takes her to the bus but I do everything else). I take her to all of her activities and do bedtime on non-activity nights. I only ask that he handles it on nights where I've been shuttling her around and generally haven't been home since 6:45am. I don't think it's a big ask. The nights he has to do bedtime after activities, the focus is to get to bed. She can have 10-15 minutes to read (or when he's in charge, iPad). When I do bedtime, we spend more time together. I don't read to her though, she can read herself and prefers that.[/quote]
