[quote=Anonymous]OP said her dh comes in between the hour of 7:30 and 8:30. So it has to vary from day to day. People keep saying "keep them up for 30 more minutes." Many days, that wouldn't help anyway, and it would be likely be longer anyway because no one is suggesting she let him see them for 5-10 minutes and then go to sleep. It will get them all amped up and add more time than 30 minutes. Because it varies, it requires her to have a lot of flexibility and makes the bedtime different every single night. Every family is different. My dh worked erratic hours and probably saw our kids 2 weeknights out of 5 when they were little. Sometimes he'd walk in and I'd just tucked them in 10 minutes earlier so it just wasn't going to happen. They were tired and cranky! It was torture for me and for them to keep them awake. They are teens now and their relationship with him is solid as a rock. There's more than one way to have good father/child relationships. [/quote]
