10yr old DS bedtime??

[~clover~]

I normally would send DD (8) at 8. Brought it back from 8.30 long ago, but lately that doesn't even seem early enough.
I sent them at 7 on Monday night & they were all asleep by 7.30! They suprised me & didn't wake til 8am! Sent them at 7.30 last night. DD1 was up about 7.30, I still had to wake DD2.
So I think 7 - 7.30 will be bed time around here more permanently now. DH always thought I was slack the nights I sent them early when he was working away. Now he see's exactly why I do it!!

My 10 yo goes to bed at 8pm. She is always asking me if she can stay up til 8.30 as all her friends at school do! She gets up at 5.30am every morning (her choice) as she has two ponies that are her responsibility to look after so i will be keeping her bedtime at 8pm. On nights when she has gone to bed later she is very tired the next day and often needs a nap!

8.30 is my 9 yr olds bed time...although most nights she's not asleep until 9.30. She's up between 7.30-8am.
