What are you all doing about bedtime tonight?

[Wheredidcottoneyedjoecomefromandwheredidhego]

Just that really

A child with an 8.30 bedtime shouldn't be this sleep sensitive. Otherwise you have a child with a ridiculously late bedtime for their age, or a ridiculous sleep sensitivity for their age.

It really won’t!

How did you cope last year and previous years before that assuming you haven’t just arrived in the UK or indeed, the planet?

Well the cats have been pissed off. They're usually fed at 7am and 7pm so today we've had protest marches around the house and a full blown riot in the kitchen. It's like living in France.

I put my kids to bed a little "late" last night (probably 20 mins or so). Then will put them to bed tonight around 20 min early, then tomorrow just on normal time. I find if i spread the change in hour over 3 nights we barely notice it.

Fuck sakes man, your future parenting is going to be fucking awful if you get this hung up on something like the clocks changing.

He is 2 years old. 😆

Exhausted??

Its one hour.

A child who is 35 months old is 2 years and 11 months old.

Are you going to keep saying this forever? When he's 17 years old are you going to say he is 204 months old?! 😂

Please - someone reassure me that the op's having a little gentle fun at everyone's expense...please? My faith in the UK education system is already a little shaky, and this thread is undermining it even further.

No, they gained an hour. Spring forward, fall back.

That or she has additional needs (I’m saying that kindly as I work with children with that and see anxious rigid behaviours and thoughts).

😂

I still wonder why this time around is any different to previous ones, i mean we all know what what is going on but -10 /10 for logic, I mean they could have made it partly believable

It’s ONE bedtime, so sticking to their normal time of 7.30 pm or whatever it is tonight won’t disarrange their little body clocks at all.

Confusing for those recently arrived from Mars, though.

The answer to your question is in the post you quoted

My eldest one was planted on my chest when I woke up, and she was clearly outraged.
But I outwitted her! I brought up her bowl and favourite nosh last night so she was served without delay, right in my bedroom.
That’ll learn her…..Feck. Now she’ll expect it all the time.

How is it a loss of one hour per night? We haven't suddenly gone to 23 hour days? Surely this is a piss take?

Plus it’s a full moon tonight, and that affects behaviour. Emergency services know this as a fact.🤔

It's not.

Can you imagine OP’s posts on MN in 1752!
(When the Julian calendar was finally changed to the Gregorian to align with continental Europe, and this meant slicing eleven days from September. She’d have gone clean round the bend)

[I bet my 1752 data is all wrong, by the way. Long time since I thought of it. But it was something like eleven days in the September of that year. Or another year? Maybe it was three months in January?]

We’ve had the exact same, although I did set up a timed feeder to dispense a little bonus breakfast in the early hours.

I have just had a ridge tile blown off my roof tonight. I felt quite cross about it. This thread has really cheered me up. MN at its best 😂.

Bloody werewolves, keeping OP’s time bandit kids up all night.

Im having a sleepover with my babies ❤️
