Oh I totally agree with the ME time.. I need it. Otherwise I would go mental.. I love my kids dearly but I need that time before I go to bed to recharge for the next day..

All of my kids are in their beds by 7-7:30pm. Occassionally on weekends and holidays they can stay up a bit later. Sometimes if we are out they might be up till 9 or 10 but thats rare as my kids don't cope well with late nights..

So to answer your question no you are not mean! It is a personal choice as to what time our kids go to bed. and you do what suits you and your family kwim?
