My DD's are early teens and do not seem to like it if I stay up later than them. I am a single parent and have been for many years. They have their own rooms.
They will often call out to me and just now DD1 said 'aren't you going to bed now?' And before DD2 went up she kind of stood near me looking like she was waiting for me to go up too. And they do this most nights
I've asked them if they feel scared of the dark or such like and they say they don't.
I feel like I am BU if I stay up a little later than them for no good reason at all. I am a grown up. I sometimes feel like I am expected to be part-child as well?!!
Does it just make them feel more secure and should I tell them they are BU expecting me to go to bed when they would like.
Confused about this concept
