Anyone else as bad a parent as we are???

DD (just turned 3) is still up and about, dancing and singing to Madonna Mania infact. It wasn't actually planned. She normally goes to bed at 7:30pm, but after a busy day in town she feel asleep on DH's knee at about 6:45pm, and slept solidaily until nearly 8pm - and then woeke up hungry, having not had any tea (had late lunch you see). She was so sound asleep I just couldn't wake her easily, and didn't want to push it. So we left her for a bit. Obviously she is now full of beans and having a great time dancing and doing little "shows" to the songs on TV for us!

She is going to bed once this finishes in a few minutes though! Hope she sleeps. Knowing DD though, she will now have a lovely lie in

This has happened in the pixiefish household quite often. In fact little pixie's bedtime can be anytime between 7 and 9.30- depending on when she has a nap (again if she falls asleep at 4 and sleeps till 6 I can't wake her as she is a grumpy little pixie)

Dd1 is now in a routine and needs her sleep, but very often end up spending my evenings with dd2 (13 mo) balanced on my knee whilst typing on th ecomputer. She loves mumsnet!

Wallace · 16/04/2005 22:15

Dd (almost 4) has only jujst gone to sleep! She did the same - fell asleep in the car at 6. She has been playing in her room, coming down occaidsionally to find a toy/go to the loo/havwe a chat.

Unfortunately she will not have a lie in the morning...she will be up as bright and early as usual

Clementine · 16/04/2005 22:18

Don't post here to often Hula. My eldest is still up (5) and there is no sign of her going to bed at all.

Hulababy · 16/04/2005 22:23

My ds seems to be the king of the castle! He dounderstand the meaning of sleep! Though I must admit I only ave myself to blame because I am very leniant with him, anything for peace except he's becoming very willful lately So I dont know people, all I can think is; WHERE R U SUPERNANNY?

kid · 16/04/2005 22:41

My DS (just turned 3 too) was allowed to stay up for an extra hour tonight, he went to sleep easily at 9pm. Hopefully he will stay in bed for an hour longer tomorrow, I doubt it though.

As long as your DD was entertaining you, it doesn't matter how late she was up! Hope she catches up on her sleep tomorrow.

Hulababy · 16/04/2005 22:43

We are generally quite lucky Kid. If DD goes to bed it does generally mean that she sleeps in late too. I have probably jinxed that now though, by typing it here! And she was having fun

Bad Mummy alert that is just sooooooooooooo slack.

Seriously, what ever works for you..............

kid · 16/04/2005 22:46

My DD (6) was up at 6:30am this morning, I must remember to tell her that we don't need to get up quite so early at the weekend. She is at her nans tonight so I don't mind if she wakes up that early tomorrow!

Hulababy · 16/04/2005 22:47

Don't know about you hulababy, but my DS was up at the crack of dawn this morning even if he did stay up for an extra hour last night

Hermione1 · 17/04/2005 08:15

Mine are always up early no matter what time i put them to bed, grrrrr

rozalie · 17/04/2005 08:45

My daughter has her good and bad days. I try to get her to bed every night for 8pm but now that it only gets dark later then usual she doesn't understand why i am putiing her to bed. She tells me " No mommy. see it's still Good morning", because it is so light out when we try to settle her down. How do i explain to her that it is really bedtime?
Anyway I have also found that nomatter what time she goes to bed, she is up really early like 6-7am every morning!

Hulababy · 17/04/2005 09:12

My dongle is still not working Clem

DD woke at just after 8:30 and she is bright and awake and happy - luckily!
