Same as Trish here. 8pm. DH gets home at about 7pm so we all have dinner at the table then. I have a nearly 7yo and a 4yo. I have tried to get them to bed earlier but they just muck around and it just draws out the whole process. If they go to bed at 8pm they are too tired to muck around and generally go straight to sleep.... not as much jack-in-the-box business when my 4yo keeps coming out to the loungeroom etc asking for water/hot water bottle/another kiss etc. Plus my 6yo (also in grade 1) likes to do his reader with Dad. I do the morning routine all by myself and am a bit hell-bent on having DH involved with the night one just to show him that it's not a walk in the park and to stop feeling taken for granted!
