What time do the kids go to bed??

I just put our 5 year old to bed @ 7:30, he has school tommorow. We usually let him watch cartoons for about an hour and then if he hasn't already fallen asleep, the tv goes off and lights out no later than 8:30.

My mom said that she put me to bed, lights out, at 7:30 when I was his age and had school.

On weekends, his bed time more or less depends on what we are doing that night.

I was just wondering what time you guys let your kids stay up to.

8:00pm, maybe a little later on non-school nights. I have a seven-year-old and a three-year-old. After work, I can only take them a few hours and I need some time alone with my wife.

7:30 to 8:00 (they are 4 and 5)

I go to bed at 7:30 myself so I take them with me about half the time.

Falling asleep with my kids in my arms 2 or three nights a week is something I will miss when they get a little older.

The 13 year old during the week somewhere around 9:30..weekends whenever he wants.
The 9 month old usually crashes around 7:30 give or take....
Mom and Dad not long after the baby *grin*
But we all get up early usually 4:30-5 am including weekends.

Holy cow did you say a mouthful! My boy is 3. A lot of the customers that I work for act like they're 3! His bedtime really depends on if he napped during the day. No nap means upstairs for a batch around 7 and into bed by 7:30. If he does nap, it's usually an hour later than that.
