So and So Didn’t Go to Bed Until 11 Last Nite......

To way too many...

Kids = Facebook props....

I recently had a mom post a cute photo of her and her three kids on the couch. She had her laptop on her lap. She made a post about "how hard it was to get some work done today with this cute tribe!"

At the time of posting...her youngest was playing in front of me....at daycare........it was a staged photo from the weekend.

Cue all the "You're such a great mom" "I don't know how you do it" comments....

Gag! Dislike the Fakeboom for attention photos!

Give them a nap, tell the parents you didn't and see if they magically start going to bed on time again ::

I never lied, I just used different words. He restedas usual, then Those who were awake after a certain time get to go into the preschool room and do puzzles, color, etc. I never told mom he was not one to leave the the nap area. Therefore, he napped. When I changed my wording, to imply that there was no nap, miraculously, he was sleeping at home.

I would definitely comment....wouldn’t be able to stop myself! A picture comment, with the child at your house.

Funny how that works huh?

Same! How rediculous

I have been down this road many times! The best one is “they don’t have to nap, just lie quietly...sleeping is their choice”. That usually shuts them up.

Yes. If they are sleeping they obviously still need a nap. I never force a child to nap or wake up a sleeping child before nap time is over.

I swear parents don’t understand that their kids are exhausted. This one particular parent gave me a hard time about napping but would post pics of her kid falling asleep on the couch or in the car in the weekends. It’s fine as long as they are napping with her

Exactly. I have 3 that are here7:30-6 and get put in bed by 7. Parents all say they like a little time to themselves before bed. :confused:Why did you have kids?!

What is wrong with an early bedtime? If the child is up around say, 630, they should definitely be in bed by 7. If it is for selfish reasons, sure, but a small child should be in bed and asleep by 7 when they awake that early. This is the schedule I have had with my own children but I am also home with them all day, maybe that makes a difference.
