Am I totally out of touch? Dd just had a huge row with me as wants to be downstairs still at 9.30pm. normally she is meant to be in her room reading/listening to music by 8.45 - lights off 9.30. Apparently all her friends are up well past 10pm. Am I being unreasonable - what time do your 12 year olds go up to bed and what time are lights off.
(For context she is up at 7.15 for school each day).

Mine goes to bed somewhere between 8.30 and 9.30 usually (she’d be reading for a while if it was at the earlier end though). Lights off about 9.30 and she listens to music or audiobooks to fall asleep.
She’s allowed her tablet and netflix til 11 on a Saturday.

Depends on the time they need to be up in the morning really

My 12 year old’s wifi goes off at 9.15, lights off 9.45. He thinks it’s v unfair!
