[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if I know you irl?

I know a mom who set very rigid bedtimes for her kids. They’re older now, but still have rigid bedtimes. One time when we were chatting as a group, she commented how difficult her one child was with bedtime (struggling to fall asleep). As a veteran mom with twice the number of kids and real world experience, [b]I gently commented that it’s counterproductive to force a bedtime when the older kid clearly doesn’t need to go down that early.[/b] Her response? The bedtimes were for her sanity and downtime. I get it, but that’s not cool.

She also told her DH what to do/how to handle the kids. Again: not cool.

My advice: take a deep breath, calm down, and step back. Your DH can handle the kids just fine. Apologize for the outburst, and explain your frustration—then promise to let go when he’s in charge. [/quote]

I don’t read OP as rigid with bedtimes. I do see a kid left in parents bedroom with a phone instead of their own room in bed. Because daddy needed to get his drink on with his boyfriends. [/quote]

There are people who are rigid on bedtimes. There is a whole lot between being rigid and tossing a phone at a kid. 
The bolded is a whole other debate (and I probably have almost double the number of kids as you but certainly don’t claim to have the rules to parent “correctly”). [/quote]
