What is your 6/7 year old's morning/evening routine - am I way off?

[SarahAndQuack]

Long story short: DP and I are splitting up; we've never agreed about various parenting issues, and it's been a factor in the split. I do believe DP is a genuinely caring, committed parent, but I'm not happy with the routines (or lack of routines) that we've ended up in, and I see the split as a good opportunity to introduce some beneficial changes.

I'd love to know about other people's routines, and what you think is really crucial or beneficial. For example, when is bedtime? When is dinner? How do you organise screen time?

I'm lucky in that we live very close to school, so there's no real school run. DD does a couple of after-school activities but is usually out of school at 3.20. I'd really appreciate knowing what you do and what you think is most important.

Thanks!

I keep all activities to weekends only!

Up at 7.15am, open curtains, make bed, fold pyjamas. Get dressed, breakfast, hair and teeth and out the door at 8.10am to the bus stop

Home at 4pm, small snack (toast and butter usually) while he does homework (spellings/times tables then reading book) Unpack school bag and re-pack for the next day. TV or iPad until dinner ready at 5.30pm or thereabouts. No iPad after 6pm so he usually reads or watches TV. Shower at 7pm and in bed asleep by 7.30pm.

It ran like clockwork because I was single so there was no one else to mess it all up! Now, 3 years later, I have a partner and a baby and it’s harder to stick to exact timings but the routine is roughly the same, with an 8.30pm bedtime
