What time does your 10, 8, 6 or 3 year old go to bed. I will abide by the consensus.

I think I've allowed things to go too far with my childrens' bedtimes and it's time for a rethink. So tell me about your bedtimes please.

I will present this thread as evidence to counter the claims about their school friends going to bed at midnight etc.

Dd (4.5) in bed by 7.45, stories until 8.30, she is in bed sneezing now!

My 4 year old is in bed by 7 every night on a school night.
Hope you get some more replies

DSS2 (11) - 8.45
DSS1 (14) - 9.45
DD (3.9) - 10.30

3 year old goes to bed at 7.30 has done since birth, very rarely she willgo to bed later. My SIL puts her boys nealry 8 and 6 go to bed at 7.30 as well.

7 and 10 8.30-9pm

I like the DDs (12 and 10) to be heading upstairs at 8 - 8.30pm on a school night, ds (7) needs to be in bed by 7.30, for his sake and mine!

Okay, it is so rare that my older dcs (12, 9 and 7) sleep before 10 that they tend not to go to bed much before 9.
My 3yo, if she hasn't napped, needs to sleep by 7/8. If she has napped, then the same as the others.

dd1 is just 4 and in bed by 6.45 and lights out by 7 probably goes to sleep around 7.15

dd2 is 6.15-6.30 but shes only 22months!!

6y - between 7:30-8pm; later at weekends/holidays

ds 14 9pm school nights

dd 10 8 pm school nights

Dd1 (10) - Bed at 8, read until 8:30

Dd2 (9) - Bed at 7:30, read until 8

Ds (5) - Bed at 7pm, fast asleep by 7:02 lol

Just had a big fight with my 3.
They're 10,9 and 8.
Usually,let them go to bed at 7 but watch telly until 8.
Big rows, but at least they're in bed.
NO PSPs;DSs;Laptops allowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I T S S C H O O L T O M O R R O W!!!!!

3 year old - in bed at 7, lights out at latest by 730

11 and 13 year old dds - bedtime is 9.00 on a school night, although they insist that none of their friends go to bed before 11!

5.5 year old (year 1) goes to bed at 7.45

5yo - 7pm
9yo - 8.15pm

varies in hols

dd1 (9) - 8.30 except typically she's still up and I hadn't noticed (she's got the notion of be quiet and they won't notice).

dd2 (6) - 7.30
ds (5) - 7.30

All have half an hour reading time in bed.

Friends DS approaching 7 upstairs at 7, stories 7.15-7.30 then story cd, she goes up to do light at 8, he is usually asleep by then.

TooTicky mine are just the same as yours. I think I'm going to try to get them in bed earlier. My main problem is that I have three boys aged 9, 6 and 3 all in one room, albeit a big one.

Dd1 (8) - 9pm 3x a week because she has hobby till them. 8pm on all other nights.

Dd2 (6) - 8pm

Dd3 (15 months) - 6pm

Judge away

till then obv

2.8 yr and 5.6 yr olds in bed around 7, asleep by 7.30

ds2 (9) goes upstairs at 7pm, lights off at 8.
ds1 (11) goes upstairs at 7.30, lights off at 9.

"Upstairs" means no TV, PC, computer games, etc. They can read or play with toys (individually not together).

Yes, I think I need to change to a "winter bedtime" because they do get more tired. Also, it is warmer in bed!!

DS (3) normally 7.30 (followed by story in bed).
