Since having to share a bedroom, my boys seem to think bedtime is party time, and it is really starting to wear me down.
I try to put DS2 up half an hour before DS1, but that doesn't seem to help. He either stays awake, or he is woken by DS1.
The boys go up at 7 & 7.30pm & 2 hours later they are still jumping about upstairs.
I have just been up to try to quiten down DS2, to find he has pulled out the contents of his bottom drawer, and he was out of bed.
This kind of thing is happening frequently, although I didn't have major bedtime problems when they used to have their own rooms.
I can't threaten to separate them as I only have a two bedroom house & they would see sleeping in my bed as a treat.
I really don't know what to do. I am getting pretty desperate now!

Thought the novelty of sharing a room may have worn off a bit by now, but bedtimes are a nightmare!
