Our neighbors are outside hot tubbin'

[Deleted]

with their 2 year old.  At 9:51 at night.  He's shrieking gleefully.  I keep thinking it's one of the kids, calling from upstairs.  But no, it's just the hot tubbin' 2 year old from next door.

[snipsnsnails]

Haha, this sounds awful. Only b/c at 9:51 at night, I want no more to do with my 2 year old!

[VeryViolet]

I was going to come in and try and make a sex joke but the 2yo took the wind out of my sails.

If it's 9:51 at night and I have a hot tub outside, my two year will far far away

I don't get people that let their kids stay up this late.

And don't give me the "he's just not tired"!

[angelaa73]

look at that rich bitch and her hot tub!

I put my kid to bed when the sun was still out tonight. It's 8pm yo! I'm off duty now!! Lol.

[juliagoulia]

I let myself forget that my 2 year old exists between 8pm & 7am.

[gretchenindisguise]

My kid is not infrequently not asleep by 10.

It's not a matter of "letting" it's a matter of her being awake.

And some people have weird hours, so their kids do too (this is not us, our kid just hates us).

I do agree. When dh and I worked weird schedules DS's bedtime would vary. But it actually left him too tired. So 830 at the latest it is now.

Yes, because all parents work M-F 8 to 5.

This is one of the mommy war topics that gets under my skin. H worked crazy hours most of A's toddler years. He would never see her if she was in bed "early."

Agree.

OP reminds me of last summer when H insisted on doing 'baths' in the pool on our days off. It was around 9 pm just when it was getting dark out, I can only imagine what the neighbors thought, lol.

H and I work from 3 pm to 11 pm. We are fortunate enough to have my mom provide child care in our home. Still, we could never get the babies on a regular schedule. They just will not sleep till we get home. Once we gave in, we were all happier and more rested.

hahaha - it's true! I am cranky tonight.

It's 8:21, and my kid is showing no signs of going to bed soon. 

I'm tired.

And I kind of hate people when I'm tired.

I get you - my 10 week old will sleep longer periods than my 2 yr old. He just doesn't sleep. We have done clinics, sleep methods - the works. I would love to do a quick night time route and tuck him in. It ain't happening.

Hang in there. Mine was the same way and now at four we say goodnight and he gets in bed and sleeps. It took us the full 4 years to get there.

One time in the past 3ish years L was in bed before 7:30 and slept through the night.

It was a few weeks ago. She didn't take a nap after soccer and then we went swimming.

My nephew went to bed at 7:30pm and got up at 5am. It works well for their daycare schedule, but when we have kids, I sure hope they go to sleep (and especially wake up) 2-3 hours later than that. Because waking up early isn't my idea of a good time, and since it's also not required for my job (or DH's), I don't "get" why I should choose to do it.

[Deleted]

Signing in as that kid who was up until late o'clock!

I promise. I turned out to be a normal adult (DAISY)

Daisy, you can be a bit Mom judgy sometimes. Maybe he's not tired, how the hell do you know what his day was like?

Dude, when Gretchen tells you to fuck off, you need to reevaluate.

Yeah. I thought this as well. Wasn't there a breast feeding judgey thread too?
