We have 3 kids aged 11,10 and 6. For some reason in the last 4 weeks discipline over bedtime has just disappeared and everyone is still monkeying around at 9.30 at night or later. We do have bedtime routines - everyone in bed by 8.00. The two boys share and just refuse to settle. I'm about to start working for myself including needing to work evenings and I don't know how I'm going to cope with the chaos. It's like something out of supernanny. Nothing seems to work - shouting, threats, it's water off a duck's back. The light evenings don't help. Any advice gratefully received.
