AIBU to put my 10 year old and 9 year old to bed at 5pm

[Naturalspirit82]

They are doing my head in, can I put them to bed as early as 5pm? Also can I just give them a bag of crisps for dinner?

As it is already 2 and half hours after 5, you can only manage that if you have a time machine or don’t live in the UK.

Obviously this is a joke but it’s not a great one since some people actually do parent this way

Oh FGS.

They are chicken crisps

Not unreasonable at all! DH and I have more or less gone to bed (separately. He's ill and I'm knackered). The dds are downstairs dancing to music on tv. I'll yell at them soon!

Don't joke about chicken crisps some people are vegetarian you know.

How about some trigger warnings around here?

I don't know why I found that so funny 

Do it! If you could grant permission for me to go too, that would be lovely. Any flavour will do, thanks xx

@HauntedPencil 😂

take them to school in pjs so when they come in from school they can go straight to bed.

wot?
my dc at that age would have shown me the bird.
chrisps for dinner - well they are potatos...

I love crisps me. And going to bed.

Can you be my mum?

I'm neutral on the bedtime but crisps offer fat, carbs, and if chicken flavour, trace protein. Maybe give them two bags each??

Ooooi like the pj idea!!! Sorry all I couldn’t help it - was funny though x x x x x x happy weekend

Ps apologies to the vegetarians, they were cheese and onion really!

Cheese and onion crisps are often not veggie but meat flavour crisps can be veggie

Yes. Take advantage of the fact it's dark earlier, change the time on all the clocks, I may have done this when mine were young hide remote controls and phones, give them their crisps, maybe between 2 slices of bread and send them on their way.

Chuckle chuckle! We all need a bit more quiet time some times x
