    DLS does make it really hard. I really don't understand how it keeps getting voted in. Is there really more people with out kids then there are with them? DLS has to be the worst thing when it comes to little kids.

    I usually LOVE DLS but not when I have grumpy kiddies!

    He is going to sleep at 8.30ish now, which wouldn't matter except that he is so grumpy. He doesn't sleep in any later either, I am sure if he got another hour in he would most likely be fine. Maybe we will start trying for 7.30, I think it's a fair compromise. Let's see if he does

    We've been having a lot of trouble with getting our kids to adjust to DLS. We were just going witht the flow but the last few nights we decided it just wasn't working (same as you, tired/grumpy kids, up late and not settling) so we have just gone straight back their 7.30pm bedtime. DD is allowed to sit in bed and read for a bit long but she must be in bed at 7.30. It seems to be working as she is settling better each night and and starting to wake up earlier too (she was waking 8 - 8.30am).
    Best of luck darl.
