I'd like my two 7 & 8yo DC o be in bed, lights off by 8pm. Recently it's been harder to do. Lots of faffing about, brushing hair, organising desks and 'just one last thing' or, 'I just need my water bottle... We have always had good bedtime routines but now it's taking forever. Tonight it was 8.40pm shutdown. Far too late! Sometimes dinner finishes at 7pm due to clubs etc but it shouldn't take them that long to get their heads on the pillow! They are up at about 0640 /0650
