I've just had another battle with my 13-year-old ds: it got to 11pm and he was still nowhere near going to bed but started trying to mend his school bag, which is ripped to bits, but he insists on using instead of a brand-new rucksack as "nobody takes a rucksack to school". It happens every night and very often ends up in a shouting match while his father just goes to bed and leaves me to it. It's a real struggle to get him up in the mornings and he's permanently exhausted. Do I just give up and ignore the fact that he's still faffing about at 11pm (the shouting matches clearly don't help) or what?
Any advice gratefully received!!!
