wow!! a post reply without a smartass 88bronco comment...Im shocked...it must be the end of the world :willy_nilly:

People's kids are usually a sacred area I don't make jokes about. Now your spouse, parents, pets, sexuality, sexuality with pets, sexuality with family members (that aren't your children), addictions, substance abuse, porn collection, incompetence, incontinence, employment status, education level, social statues, music preferences, and just about anything else I can think of is fair game.

I think it depends on what time they typically get up in the morning and then back it up 10 or 11 hours!

my nine year old has always been an early riser so we always tried to get her to bed pretty early where as my older daughter always liked to sleep late.

At 3, the time is getting closer to getting him used to school times etc, but for now I'd be more concerned on how many hours of sleep he is getting rather than what time he is going to bed and getting up.

just my 2 cents worth

I have a 3 year old and he typically goes to bed at 8-8:30.

Summer seems to always through us off a bit. With it getting dark later, vacations and fewer naps because of pool time, we have found it best to adjust his bedtime according to what the day was like for him and what we are doing that evening.

8-8:30

On a side note, you can put them to bed anytime between 10PM and 2AM on Friday and Saturday nights, and those little people will still be up at the crack of dawn on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Make a joke about my social statues and see what happens.

Nothing hard and fast. I like what both hawk and cat said. See how your kid does in the am. If your kid gets up cranky or drags out of bed, not getting enough sleep. Getting up TOO early for you guys, push the time for bed back.

Mom and dad must both be on the same page and must ALWAYS win the battle over the kid. They need to be on your timetable not the other way around.

If you don't nip it now, it will dog all of you for years to come.

This plays a big role with discipling your kids too. There are times they might seem defiant etc, but check their sleep. Maybe they aren't getting enough or during the day a proper nap might make for a better evening for all parties.

Having a feel for that will help you know when a child needs to be punished for something(punish maybe not the best word) or simply a good nap or some food. Heck even us adults could gain from a good nap or some food to avoid being an angry jerk.

My youngest has always needed more sleep than my oldest... prior to starting school he would be in bed by no later than 8:30... now that he's in school, he's in the bed pretty much every night by 8, and he's 10. My oldest, which is now 14, has never needed much sleep and he stays up most nights until 10 and gets up at 6.

My youngest is like me... if I don't get 8 hours sleep, I'm a bitch the next day.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
