We're on half term. Dh got up to go to work at 5.30 this morning to find DS1 (14) playing on his computer.
He came in to see me and said he's convinced ds has been up all night playing. He wants to talk about consequences when he gets in.
Now, while I obviously don't think it's ideal, I don't think it's that huge a deal as a one off in the holidays. He went into town at midday so if he's tired that's his own lookout.
He's a good lad, never any real trouble, helps round the house and does well at school. He does have a computer obsession but then so do all his mates. I just really don't see the harm in him staying up all night as a one off in the holidays. I used to stay up all night reading at his age, the freedom of not having to get up in the morning was intoxicating.
Anyway, DH wants to have a serious chat with him about bedtimes and respect (?). Aibu to head him off at the pass and say that actually this doesn't need a big stern talking to?
Or am I just being a bit slack here?

AIBU?
Or just a slack parent to not be too bothered by this?
