[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids (7 and 10) with very early bedtimes (8:30 weekdays).  My DD (10 year old), up until about 2 years ago, was in bed by 7:30 because she needed that much sleep.  She would sometimes even put herself to bed!  Bedtime any later makes both kids miserable the next day.  Not all kids can handle late bedtimes.

OP, if your kids are like mine, and absolutely need that much sleep, I would be furious at DH as well.  While you can't stop him from doing what he's doing, he takes over when he wakes them up, and if possible deals with them the next morning, as well.

Good luck![/quote]

Your kids are in elementary school, OP's kids are in daycare where they can nap for 2 hours in the afternoon. When my kids were 5 and under and in daycare they didn't go to bed until 9 or 9:30 so DH and I could interact with them. I spoke with the daycare teacher about it once and she said she could usually tell the type of parent who insisted that their child shouldn't nap at daycare because they wanted their kid to go to sleep at 7:30pm. Those parents would get mad at her if the kids napped when nap time/quiet time is a licensening requirement. She commented that the parents  who seemed to really like spending time with their kids kept them up later. Up until kindergarten my kids took long naps because they stayed up late. sounds like OP barely wants to deal with her kids. She wants them out of sight and DH to cater only to her. [/quote]
