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.

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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
