Wise mumsnetters. Give me your thoughts.
My sun-thurs rule is phone downstairs by 9:30 to facilitate being in bed for 10
Every night my 15 year old pushes this which results in my nagging and her being rude and lippy and us both going to bed in a grump.
She gets up at 5.45 as she doesn’t like rushing and leaves for school at 7 . She’s quite anxious and I think needs a proper rest. She’s otherwise hardworking and responsible. She has always been high maintenance but does thrive on autonomy.
Who’s being unreasonable, what works in your homes?
YABU: let it drop, cut her some slack, she’s mature enough to decide her own hours.
YANBU: stick to your guns and be the parent. 15 year olds need boundaries - and sleep!
