I don't know whether I have been U bringing this up with ex partner. DS is 2 and is with me 5 nights a week and ex 2 nights a week. With me he is in bed just before 7 and asleep for about ten past after a story. We sometimes have nights where he wakes up but on the whole he'll sleep until 7am.
DS always seems exhausted when he comes back from exp's. Exp has told me hat he goes to bed at 8.30ish at weekends and between 7.30 and 8 on a nursery night. I have asked him to put him to bed earlier, especially on a nursery night when he is up and at nursery for 8am - there's no way he can be getting his 12 hours sleep. Nursery have started to mention that he's not himself and seems exhausted when he comes in with Dad. I text exp last night asking him to consider bed time again and his response was "stop telling me how to parent my child" - he's our child and I want to work together. Was I being U to ask him to stick to the routine? I just feel so sorry for DS, he was too tired to eat his tea last night when he came home from nursery and just comes home in such a bad mood because he's so tired :(
