[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm struggling with this, too, since my middle schooler likes to hang out and talk late into the evenings. I know this is the best way to keep up the relationship, but it is draining not having waking hours to myself.[/quote] Yes. This. It's rough. But this is when they want to talk and in my experience one of the best times you get real stuff out of them. I've really had to adjust my whole schedule and way of thinking. I have an elementary child too still but the middle school kid leaves very early in the morning. So I now get up earlier and see the middle school kid off and have more "me" time in the morning before my elementary kid even wakes up. Also, middle school child is much busier generally so the time I have to myself is just different. And to OP, pick some family shows to watch.[/quote]
