My dc doesnt wake until 9 am every morning... Piss off!

[KeepOnKeepingOnAndOnAndOnAndOn]

Ok, so I am rather 'jel'. But I do tire of the incessant boasting , in RL esspecially, about peoples dc's and their epic sleep patterns... Yaaaawn!

Funny thing is, when asked what time their 1 year old dc goes to bed? 9pm!!! WTF? Where's your life?

Personally I much prefer dd in bed at 6 and up at 6, this way i actually hve an evening to myself :) (if she does go to bed at 7 she rises even earlier!) I don't go round boasting about how my dd is in bed at 6pm though, I just wouldn't...

It appears many love to boast about this topic in particular, which is non- sensical to me, as their dc is goin to bed ridiculously late IMO.

Sorry for the rant, but I do tire of this.

Agree flozzie. Angry?

all swings and roundabouts
cant imagine ever putting my kids to bed at 6, but i would be horrified by 6am wake up
owls and larks

Mind over matter. If you don't mind, if doesn't matter!

(Lark)

If I'd put my kids to bed at 6pm, they would only have seen their Dad at weekends.

Mine were mostly 8pm to 8am, which suited us fine because we didn't go to bed ourselves until about 1am anyway.

I would have gone mad if mine hadn't been asleep 6.30-7.
They are teenagers now..dd 17 bounds out of bed at 6.30 and ds 15 at 7...but at the weekends they sleep in till 9.

I would hate 6pm bed. We are currently in park along riverside. Kids playing with frisbee, adults chilling. They roughly have bed 9pm-9am. It means we can enjoy evenings at resturants, friends, cinema without rushing about.

Of course YABU.
Every family has to do what suits them.
Those of us who are out at work would not be able to get dc in bed for 6pm, even if we wanted to.
Some people are early risers and others are night owls- why does it bother you so much if you prefer it the way your dc are ?

I had a conversation like that yesterday with my brother, he was moaning he never gets a lie in anymore, his son wakes between 8.30-9.00am every day and has done for about a year, my ds is up before 6am everyday, I l dream of him being a teen and staying in bed until lunch.

My DC do 7.30-5/6.30. Even going to bed at 10 has never stopped them from waking really early.

It doesn't stop them from having late evenings on occasion

But what time do you go to bed if you have been up since 6am OP?
I agree with those saying that it must be awful to have to rush home in time for 6 every day, especially with the long summer evenings.

We counted ourselfs lucky as ds slept 14 hours a night from 8 weeks until 2.5 years, he would go down at 6.30 and get up at 8.30 until he started nursery.
He's 3 in two weeks and now likes to wake up and play in his bedroom then fall back over he's now going to bed at 6 then up at 8 but we hear him singing in his room at different times threw out the night.

Oh and we get home from work and childcare at 6.30pm in the week. Then have to cook, all eat, bath kids etc, so before 9pm isn't going to happen

Meant to add- I give up with those who brag about bedtimes, it's what suits each person but I hate missing half the day to sleep, especially when it's as lovely as it has been of late

I was always asked (still am) about DDs sleep routine..and when I say I'm accused of bragging or boasting even though I'm the one asked and I never brought it up. I hate it when people ask me because I know some people get the hump. I just change the subject ..I get sick of the evils now.

YANBU....my DC have all been early risers and no amount of going to bed late will keep them in bed; they just end up tired and grumpy. We have tried.

5yo DS2's favourite wake up time is 5am...sometimes earlier. Latest he has ever slept is 7.15. He's often up twice in the night as well; he just doesn't seem to need sleep, unlike me and DH

My 12 yo DS1 is up with the lark as well...where are these preteens I hear having to be dragged out of bed in the morning. I wish. He wants to go to bed later, but is a screechy, tearful, horrible mess the next day.

DD is the best of them all; in bed by 7.30 and up about 7.30.

DS up every single day by 7am absolute latest. But is always in bed (even if not asleep) by 7pm. Suits me as I've always gone to bed early-on work nights I'm in bed by 9.30, lights out at 10pm. Different folks different strokes!

Op, by any chance are you overtired? Because your post makes you sound like you are on a knife edge

Mine are down 7 in the winter and through to 6.30/7.
In the summer, more like 7.30pm. At 6pm mine were running around in the paddling pool in the garden. It would feel like they were really missing out if they were down at 6

Ok ok, I am sliiiiightly hormonal ... I am not annoyed at what families do to suit their needs. Its the incessant boasting i hear - oooh mine doesn't wake till 9- i genuinely hear this a lot. Its the boasting around it I find odd, dull and annoying.

How are all these children so tired so early? DD was never tired at bedtime. I would be almost crying with tiredness and willing her to go to sleep so I could go to bed. I couldn't leave her until she was asleep because she had a tracheostomy that needed regular suction while she was awake.

To reiterate I am going to retry the 7-7 :)
But it normally results in dd waking earlier than she does normally. (As I hve explained twice now)

And dd is 1 and is often tired by 5ish. Its nt a prob if we are out by the way. She simply could sleep In her pram :)

I've never bragged about my kids sleeping late, I only ever get shitty comments from people who put their dc's to bed early saying my dc's are up too late. I just don't get it, they get as much sleep as anyone else and they are never late for school.

Why to people need to rant at other peoples choices to feel comfortable with their own. I couldn't care less what time anyone puts their kids to bed, only how much sleep they get.

Ludways I ain't ranting about bedtimes , I am ranting about people who boast about when their dc wake :)

WHy do you think it is boasting, Keep. Perhaps they are just sating...I think you would only interpret it as boasting if you thought it was desirable. If you don't, why do you care?
I preferred 8 - 8 with DD when she was small. I hate getting up early.

saying, not staing. And add the necessary ?
