What time do your kiddos have to go to bed? And how old are they?

Tonight I told my kiddos it was time to go to bed early since school is starting in under 2 weeks. Youngest thinks her bedtime is to early... curious as to what others do.

My oldest will be 5 in December and her bedtime is between 7 and 8, but sometimes it gets extended if we are doing something like on the weekends and during the summer. Otherwise year round and during the week during school time it is no later than 8.

My next child is 2 1/2 and does not have a bedtime but she usually falls asleep by 9.

The youngest will be a year old on the 5th of September and goes to bed by 10.

The oldest gets up at 7:30, the baby is up by 8:30 and my middle child will sleep all day if you let her.

2 year old - 8:00

11 year old has been 8:30 for a while. will probably change it to 9:00. The older she gets, the harder it is to get her up.

Their bedtime is for me too. I love them to death but it's time to go to bed and give mommy adult, quiet time.

See that's exactly how I feel too :lol:

8 & 9 year olds had 8:30 bedtime this past school year. 11 year old was 9:00

Normally during the summer they still have a schedule it's just an hour or so later but this summer their has been no schedule. We have gone on a bunch of trips and they have been up really really late almost every night. I know I am going to play hell getting them up for school... especially oldest since she starts middle school this year and has to be there before she was even out of bed this past school year :lmao:

I try to have my kids settled and in their rooms by 8pm. Now and again Daddy let's them stay awake until 9pm... Usually that is on the weekends, though.

My oldest is 6 and youngest two are 4.

8(almost 9) and 10 years old, this summer its been lights out by 10, once school starts its lights about by 9. I usually have them in bed an hour before for chill time (watching a movie on some nights or reading a book on others).

Youngest is 2 his bedtime is 8pm and oldest is 4 (almost 5) his bedtime is 8:30. We leave the house at 5:45am they usually are still asleep. And they both still nap during the day for about an hour and a half or sometimes two.

15 months old. She goes to bed between 6:30 and 7:30 and wakes up between 7 and 8am. Except on the weekends, when she likes to get up extra early! :yahoo:

My daughter is 12. She has to be in her room and settling down by 9, lights/tv off by 9:30. She gets up at 6am for school.

I told her after this weekend I was going to start her back on a schedule. She'll slowly have to start going to bed early and waking up earlier.

8:30 is the latest for my two during the school week.

Last night the youngest was out by 7 pm. First day of school tired him out :lol:

My son's bedtime falls between 8 and 9 during the week, 9 and 10 on the weekends. Usually he's in bed by 8, lights out by 8:30, asleep by 9 (and the same an hour later on the weekends).

18 month old, between 7:30-8:30 depending on how long and late her nap was. 4 year old, in bed between 8:30 and 9, out by 9:15 usually. 3 year old, I try between 9-10, but I swear that child is a vampire and never sleeps. I'm lucky to get her out by 10-11 and she's still up sometimes by 4. Last night I gave up, turned her tv on and said I was going to bed because I didn't feel good. I have no idea what time she finally crashed, but it must have been pretty late because she slept in until 5:45 this morning :killingme

We put our 8 & 5 yr olds to bed at 8pm but they can watch TV/play in their room until hubby turns it off at 9:15pm. Youngest is usually already asleep by then. On Friday and Saturday nights, they still go at 8pm but we don't turn the TV off until 10pm and they are both sound asleep (mainly because I'm in charge of it those two nights and tend to forget). They are usually up and ready to start the day between 6:30-7am regardless of the day. Both have to go to day-care during the week and the schedule stays the same, with or without school.

Damn girl :jealous:

Baby Jack is 2 and is usually in bed around 8 pm and wakes up around 7 am during the week and 8 on the weekends.

The older boys stay up until 9 during the school year and get up at 6 am and 7 am.

During the summer I let the older kids go to be when they feel like it. Sometimes it is 10 pm sometimes midnight :shrug:

Some nights at 7:30, when she's running around like Taz, C_Jo will say, "I don't think she's ready for bed yet" and I say, "TOO DAMN BAD! IT'S TIME!" and we put her in bed and that's that! I'm mean like that! :evil:

My son 7 goes upstairs for a shower at 8 and goes to bed right after that but we allow him to watch tv until 9, and on the weekends its 9 for the shower and bed but he is an early riser and I never have trouble waking him up. We pretty much kept the same schedule this summer with a few times a week we let him watch a movie with us

I don't even see McK in the morning. Well, I can "see" her because we have a video monitor, but she's still in bed when I leave for work, so I don't get to squeeze her. I hate that. :frown: But tomorrow is Friday and I get to squeeze her all day long for three whole days!!! :clap:

I get to be the lucky one to get them all up and dressed. Boy takes 20-25 minutes to get dressed. The girls are easy. Big Girl gets dressed all by herself with no wait time. And Baby Girl just lays there while Momma does all the work. A few hugs and kisses later and we're out the door to daycare. Oh except for the few times that Big Girl has hidden her shoes. She thinks that if Momma can't find her shoes I'll stay at home all day. Nope. I took her butt to daycare without shoes. She hasn't pulled that one in months. :lol:

My kids goes to bed at 8 pm every night. Both of them gets up at 8 am every morning. However, that'll change when school start because of bus pick up time.

Boy 1: 5 1/2 years old
Boy 2: 2 1/2 years old

I just give Jack his bath the night before and get him dressed in the clothes he will be wearing the next day. (unless it is jeans or something) but usually for day care he wears grubby clothes since they are outside playing and getting dirty.

My 3 year old loves to be naked and hates wearing clothes. Monday I was ready to leave and threatened to take her to school naked :shocked: She got dressed quickly :lol: I have left the house with shoes in hand for her though.....

9yrs
During school: mon-thurs 830pm / fri-sat 930pm
Summer: every day 930pm but flexible depending on what's going on

I usually start the school schedule the week before we go back. This time we're on vacation so kid thinks it's "awesome" she isn't going to start the school schedule till two days before.
