Just wondering if there are any parents out there who let their toddler decide each evening what time they go to bed?

I am seriously considering just giving up and letting ds do his own thing between the bath and the onset of sleep. I have read there are lots of cultures who let children decide their own bedtime and I figure that we let ds decide lots of other things, like what to wear, what to play, what to eat. All of his other choices have limits, a certain number of options I suppose. Sleep is different and something that's totally up to him anyway. I can't force it and i'm not trying but I do resent the time it takes him to go to sleep at night. It's been going on for months now, seriously & I'm really sick of sitting in his room every single night for up to 2 hours waiting for him to fall asleep.

If you do this in your family, how does it work? What boundaries do you have around it? What are the advantages/disadvantages?
