You're only thinking of yourself and your kids. If there are other adults in the house, consider that they may have seen quite enough of Little Billy for the day.

My 6 year old's normal bedtime is 9:30 pm. I wish he went to bed earlier, but he doesn't. He's not going to go to bed earlier just because we are on travel. I play cards, board games, color with him, and play games with him on the ipad. If his presence offends you that greatly, keep away from us and go hang with family members without kids.

Stop being so sensitive. Clearly no one is offended by well-behaved kids whose parents are actually watching them. READ THE ORIGINAL POST. When OP was saying "get off the iPad, peel away from the DVR," she's talking about the parents who just check out and relax and refuse to actually *BE PARENTS* while their kids are up late. If your kids are supervised and aren't bothering people, it's fine.  [/quote]

I'm a bit sensitive about this topic because my BIL and SIL are genuinely offended by the presence of my son, regardless of whether he is well behaved.  They consider it offensive that he may ask them a question or say something to them (such as "do you like star wars?") when I am sitting there entertaining him.  So it may be that the PP would not be offended by well behaved kids, but my family members seem to be.[/quote]
