[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a 2019 TJ kid here, and I will never understand the parents like the PP posters who stay up with their TJ kid.  To each their own, but I have to get up early for work and there is no way I can function without my sleep.  I also know my kid does better when they get sleep.  Again, you do you and what works for your family but for anyone considering TJ, this is not something that has to be done to be successful.  [/quote]

Of course not. It depends on how your family and jobs work and the kids.  And it isn’t a “TJ thing”.   Once DS goes to college, DD will be entering junior year at a base school, and we will do the same for her.  We have no TV and a quiet house, because we all like it that way.  And my kids never stopped studying that the kitchen table, or on the sofa in the den.  And everyone sort of hangs out on the open floor plan main level, with the kids doing homework, one while listening to music with earbuds ,and DH often also working or nearby working on his hobby and me on DCUM or watching something on a tablet with earbuds.  Or researching college admissions this year.    It doesn’t feel right to me to leave one member of the family alone for hours on end.  And having someone around helps the kid stick to schoolwork instead of YouTube and and to wrap it up and go to bed.

And honestly, each in our own ways, DH and I feeling sad this summer about our kid hitting senior year, and starting all the “last’s” .  Proud, and excited, but also sad.  We have a very limited amount of time to all be together as a family. I want to be there. [/quote]
