To want 10yr old Dss in bed at 10pm?

I think 10pm is plenty late enough and as selfish as it sounds, I do like to have a hour or so "chill out, no kids" time before I go to bed.

The 1 & 2yr old are in bed between 7-8pm.

I'm up at 7am in the mornings with the kids, spend all day doing fun things with them, including Dss when he's not on the Xbox and feel I deserve a couple hours in the evening to myself!

Dp has just made me feel really mean for telling Dss that it's bedtime because "it's a holiday"

AIBU

So as not to drip feed, at his mums, Dss goes to bed at 8.30/9pm on a school night & 9/9.30pm on a weekend so he's still getting a later night here.

YANBU but just wanted to add that what is very late for one child is fine for another. DS1 (nearly 3) goes to bed around 9 - 9.30pm, up at 7.30am bright eyed and bushy tailed. This amount of sleep is fine for him, if he went to bed at 7pm he'd be up at fuffing 5am which would not be good at all.
