How old is your son? Why does he have to stop talking at 9.30pm?

Small house here too. 14yr old DS. School nights everything is switched off by 9.30/10. Holidays he can say online for longer but I don't want to be hearing shrieks of 'omg what the heck i just diiiied' after 10ish when I still have to be up early for work the next day so we tell him to shut up from about then.

My DS is the same. I ask him to be quiet when I'm ready to go to sleep, which is normally about 11. Weekends and holidays he plays it as late as he wants. I ask him to turn off at 11 on college nights.

Why is he staying in bed until lunch time? Why is he not at school or college?
