We're in France in a gite - about 20 other families here either in gites or camping. Most with young children.
Our children are a baby and 5 year old.
In our normal life they're both in bed asleep by 7pm. On holiday they're both in bed asleep by 7pm! If they stay up later they still wake by 6.30am and are then cranky all day...
All the other small children are up till at least 9pm here. As I said, there aren't that many families so we've got to know the other children. Must point out that my 5 yr old like going to bed and hasn't asked to stay up later - it's just I've had a few comments about being a big mean because "she's on holiday too."
What do other parents do? Aibu not letting them stay up later (the 5 year old really, not the baby)?
Have to say, when we're sitting outside with out books and cold drinks at 7pm with both children soundly asleep it is bliss!
