Partly because after bickering incessantly ALL DAY LONG, they're magically best friends and need to giggle and talk for hours after 8:30.

I think my parents gave up on bedtimes about 15 years ago, and just try to exhaust us through all the work that needs to be done instead. Just recently I was on Skype consoling my 8 year old sister--both parents were gone on a trip, and they'd left instructions for the 18 year old to put all the school-aged children to bed by 9. Baby sister thought this was Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-28653303780935700962015-05-19T16:06:56.328-04:002015-05-19T16:06:56.328-04:00Yep, sounds familiar!

We don't have this so much at the moment as I tend to sing my two year old to sleep and the five year old is generally tired enough to go up happily after his school days, but he went through a phase where it was everything from "I need you to tuck my pyjamas into my socks" to "I need a plaster" (on a bruise). *sigh* :-) Thanks for linking up to #Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154503782007641805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-51629782394589699402015-05-19T15:25:03.920-04:002015-05-19T15:25:03.920-04:00I love the "my sister is sleeping so I can...I love the "my sister is sleeping so I can't sleep" excuse.Jenny Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320766378823015885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-60146636090116301942015-05-19T09:04:17.236-04:002015-05-19T09:04:17.236-04:00I only have 2 right now but the oldest who is 3 is...I only have 2 right now but the oldest who is 3 is a pro at most of these reasons. Her most recent excuse is either "I can't find my puppy". And that her sister is crying or sometimes even because she's sleeping. After a day full of nagging you would think they would be tired enough to just lay down and sleep. It's a good thing they are cute and so lovable.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111265439845415696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-90148986824163210102015-05-19T08:57:31.289-04:002015-05-19T08:57:31.289-04:00Did one of my kids put you up to saying that?Did one of my kids put you up to saying that?Jenny Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320766378823015885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-83914018450863458742015-05-19T03:09:31.501-04:002015-05-19T03:09:31.501-04:00These all seem like perfectly valid reasons to me ...These all seem like perfectly valid reasons to me :)Moderate Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494395272179422779noreply@blogger.com
