Coming in times?

[FedupofTurkey]

What time do your kids have to be in? Do they have baths after they come in?

[OutragedFromLeeds]

6yo comes in at 6pm for his bath.

8yo and 9yo come in at 7pm and will have a bath/shower when they come in.

Thanks, anyone got older kids- 12 or 14?

Hi, would depend on the season, wouldn't let my 12 year old out if it was dark outside. She's generally in the bath for 7.30ish and bed time at 8.30pm on a school night. That said she probably needs more sleep than most her age & is epileptic so I have that to consider too.

I have a 14 year old. What do you mean by "come in"? She doesn't hang about the streets, but will visit friends where I go to pick her up.
If she is coming home by bus then it will be 6-7pm, or she can stay at her friends till 8pm or so.
She goes to dance class 5 times a week, and of those doesn't get back until 9.30, but again that's an adult pick up in a car.

14 year old ds, in by 8.30/8.45 is that reasonable ?

It would be too late for my 14 yo. She likes some supper, then a shower, reads a bit in bed and has to be up at 6.45 for school. Coming in at 8.45 means she wouldn't get to sleep much before 10.45, she needs a lot of sleep.
