DC are 9, 4 and 2. Today they woke at 7.30. We walked the mile to school/nursery then 2 yo and I played at home until lunch time when we collected dd from nursery and went to the park for an hour. 2 yo then slept for 2 hours while dd and I had lunch, painted and played with her toys together. We collected dd9 from school then went to the park and the library until 5.30.
We went home and they danced and sang until dinner at 6.30. Then they went in the garden and out the front trampolining and on scooters until 8.35 before coming in for showers and stories. It ended up being 9.50 before all three were asleep.
It sounds really late and like they should all be totally worn out but they aren't. They are never tired or grumpy, they're all extremely happy and just don't have enough hours in the day for all the things they want to do. They're rarely ill and the girls are doing well at school/nursery. My sister thinks it's appalling and that they should be in bed by 7.30 latest. Her similarly aged DC are in bed by 6.45. We're usually eating dinner then!
Aibu to continue with the way we currently do things?
