[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - I was just curious how many nights you personally aren’t doing the drudgery of bedtime regardless of why or who else is doing it.  I have a 1 and 2 yo and 5 nights a week i do their bedtime on my own and it’s a 1.75 hour endurance event of forced cheer.  The other two nights I participate in one or both nights still. On any given day it’s fine, but by the 5th day in a row on my own I’m practically fantasizing about my sisters life (she has a 6 and 9 year old and spends tons of time with her kids but only personally does their bedtime 4 nights a week and it’s a much easier and shorter process at that stage)[/quote]

Husband here.

2 kids, 5 and 3.

I do bedtime myself 1 night per week when my wife is out (we each do one late work night per week).   Dinner is done at 730, youngest in bed by 745, oldest in bed by 815 latest.

The other days, I often do youngest kid’s bedtime, but oldest insists Mommy does bedtime because “Daddy’s bedtime is too short.”  Bedtime lasts until 9-915 pm on those days with many stories and songs after books.  I have repeatedly offered to my wife to do bedtime, including offering  my wife leave the apt so we can train oldest to do Daddy bedtime.  We have not done that.  My wife says she values the talking time with oldest after 8pm.  So, OK.[/quote]
