How important is bedtime at your house?

I am strict Sunday through Thursday. My DD will go to bed at 8:00, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

On the weekend, I'll let her stay up until 9:00, 10:00 at the LATEST. I do MAKE her go to bed. Mom and dad like their free time at night too. :) :) :)

Here....  Bedtime on school days are strictly enforced...... (If my kids don't get enough sleep, they get really cranky)...  On the weekend I am a litt more lenient, and let them stay up a little later...  (in hopes that they sleep in a little later, )  And even if they get up early, and get cranky, there is always time for a nap on the weekend.........

That's what I want too, but by 10 I'm too wiped out to enjoy my time with Dh. But this only happens every other week. My dd (2) goes to bed at 9pm on the dot.

I said flexible but I have a 2 yr old that still tells me when she is sleepy

We have a fairly stric bedtime through the week, but on the weekends our schedules change and therefore hers changes as well.  Sometimes we will be at a friends house until 11 or so and she will not fall asleep until we are in the car on the way home. 

my son is only 5 but he actually really good about putting himself to bed by 9 or so everynite. he has always been a really good sleeper. and i never have to fight him about going to bed. he decides when he goes to bed. but if he not asleep by 10 then i just put him in bed and shut off the lites and he goes rite to sleep. i am pretty flexible about it. as long as he getting enuf sleep everynite i don't see a problem with it.

very important, and I am the drill Sargent , when it is bed time I don't play.

My 9 and 7 yr old go to bed during week at 8 sharp....on fri and sat they can stay up as long as they wanna .....jut never works out that way bec no later then 9 30 you peek in their rooms and they both a sleep lol..

Elijah has to be in bed before 8 or he is SUPER grouchy! Sometimes he'll stay up a little later. Like this weekend my parents will be up here in Tacoma visiting from Oklahoma so I'm sure he'll stay up later. But if there is not a special occasion, its 8 o'clock!
