[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you, OP. If Dad's work situation doesn't allow him to get home earlier, which I can understand, then he can see the kids in the morning and on weekends.[b] The kids' best interest is the top priority and kids need sleep and consistency for so many important reasons.[/b]

When I had kids those ages, my dh would come home anytime between 7:30 and 9:30. I never knew when from day to day, due to the nature of his job and his commute. Bedtime stayed at 8:00 regardless. I couldn't keep them up not knowing exactly when he'd arrive and then, if it was right at 8, that would mean they wouldn't get to sleep until about 9.

The parents who think this bedtime is outrageous may be the ones I see with little kids out shopping at Target when I go to make a late night run.[/quote]

[b]It is more in the kids best interest to spend time with dad than to get that extra 30 minutes of sleep.

A strict, early 7:30 bedtime for kids that age is about mom's best interest, not the kids'.[/b]

Putting the kids in their rooms for quiet time at 7:30 and having dad come home and do bedtime it far more valuaboe to their health and well being.[/quote]

[b]According to who?  I would love to see one piece of evidence that supports this[/b].  [/quote]

Another pp.. Really? You have children you don't yet understand the impact of parental bonding? You need science to support common sense knowledge. All that scientific research you rely on to raise your children you didn't come across the importance  of the father and mother spending time with their children? The long-term impact into adulthood?. Wow! Good luck with your kids [/quote]
