Just a curious question here. I have an almost 9 yr old. he goes to bed around 7 - 8pm most nights depending on his behaviour ect throughout the day,

Weekends I still don't really allow much later then 8pm. Reason for this is that Ds needs to get a good 10-12 hours sleep or he is tired and emotional the following day

Anyways to explain the reason for the thread.. On Friday night Ds had a late night due to coming in and out of the bedroom. 9:30 he finally fell asleep. He was going to a friends house the following night. I almost said no but they were going somewhere as well so I said he could go but didn't want it to be a late night. I was promised he would be home and in bed by 8 or 9 pm. I was happy with that. I found out (mother apoligised profusly) he didn't get home till 1am . I am a little annoyed but thankfully Ds slept 14 hours last night and has been pretty brilliant today but I wonder if I am a little harsh with bedtimes?

What time do or did your children of this age go to bed??
