Bedtime routines 5&7

[SaintGutFree]

Just occurred to me that DC still have same bedtimes and routines since being babies They go up for bath at 6:30 and bedtime at 7pm. They are now 5 and 7 so looking at how we can change it- what suits other families? The DCs still share a bath, and don't seem to mind, but it has struck me that perhaps we should stop this? I always do dinner at 5:30 but evenings are such a rush... will change this to 6.

What are the routines like in your house?! Ta!

In at 6 (fed by childminder) Read to us in turn. 30 minutes computer time. At 7 one in the bath whilst the other has a shower (both prefer a bath but they argue if they share!). Milk, teeth, stories and bed at 8.

If only DH or I is home then I get the 5 year old through the bath then read to him whilst the 8 year old is in the bath and the whole routine finishes a little later. They don’t share stories as DS1 wants to be read proper chapter books but DS1 (in Reception) is still firmly wedded to picture books.
