Wibu to send my dd to bed at 6.30?

[Wretched]

I have just had it with her today. I have been up half the night with dd2 (5 weeks old), I have a killer trapped nerve in my shoulder which is made worse by trying to breastfeed half the night. I have taken dd1 out shopping with me and bought her a comic and some treats, but her behaviour this tea time has been really quite bad. Ungrateful and cheeky. She has been put in her room twice for refusing tea, demanding pudding despite tea refusal and general back chat.

She is knackered herself after a couple of late nights and also a viral infection which she is having antibiotics for. I feel an early night would do her good and me and DH can have a rest? But feel a bit bad. Wibu?

She is six btw. Normal bedtime is 7.30 - 8.00 or later on weekend or holidays.m

will she know she is going to bed early?

i have been known to change the time on kitchen clock to get everyone to bed 1 hour early

I do this with my also 6 now and again, it does do her good and as long as it's dark, she doesn't know as we don't have a clock in the house

dd 6!

YANBU.

Sounds like she needs an early night.

If you feel bad then say that she doesn't have to go to sleep straight away but can flick through her mag but must stay in her room - that way you still get time to yourself.

Yanbu, why would you feel bad about it if she is tired? It will do you all good.

treat it as normal bedtime and she will likely not know, will do you all good, then have a hot bath and an early night

YANBU, just don't tell her! Sounds like she is tired anyway

Yanbu, save your sanity and give her some rest

YANBU.
My twins are 5 and bedtime is always at 6.30 regardless.

The 4 year old I nanny for crashed out on the couch at 6.25 will move him in a bit :) he's obviously tired

We are sat in her room having played connect four and done some puzzles. She asked so nicely for a couple of games that I relented. Have took some painkillers and breastfed dd2 while we played. Feel better now half past seven is approaching.
