[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you in the house when this is all happening? Can you let DH handle everything else and then you go in at 8:35 and turn off her light and give her a hug good night? My oldest is 11 and he will read all night long if I don’t go in for one last tuck in and goodnight and make sure he turns off the light. [/quote]

Op here. I am, and usually do give a 5 minute warning then come around 8:35 to have her do lights out ... but he's in there and I shouldn't have to! And if I do, he doesn't make sure it happens. Half the time, he's the issue, just distracting her or letting her read/iPad longer until I come in there again. It's just so irritating that he won't enforce a reasonable bedtime. It's not like I'm trying to make her go to bed at 7pm[/quote]

I’m sorry.  My DH does this too.  Beyond not being good for the kids, it kind of hurts my feelings.  Most of the evening is spent on the kids already, and this is supposed to be our time together as a couple.  [/quote]
