MoonlitChaser+FollowWhen Your Toddler Outsmarts You at BedtimeLast night, my 3-year-old pulled the ultimate bedtime escape. I thought I had finally mastered the art of getting her to sleep—bath, story, lullaby, lights out. But just as I tiptoed out, she called, "Mommy, I need to tell you a secret!" Of course, I fell for it. Her secret? "I’m not tired yet!" Cue the giggles and another round of stories.

SnapdragonSprite+FollowWhen Your Kid Outsmarts You at BedtimeLast night, my 6-year-old pulled the classic 'just one more story' move. I thought I was prepared, but she hit me with, 'But Mom, reading together helps my brain grow!' 😅 How do you argue with that? So there we were, reading about dinosaurs for the third time, both of us giggling under the covers. Sometimes, I wonder who’s really in charge at bedtime—me or her clever little mind. These moments remind me that parenting is as much about laughter as it is about rules. Do your kids have a bedtime negotiation tactic that always gets you?

EtherealEmber+FollowMy Husband’s “Bedtime Routine” Is Driving Me Crazy! 😡Every night, I read a book and tuck our 4- and 5-year-olds into bed, hoping for sweet dreams. But my husband? He takes them into a pitch-dark room and lets them watch short video on his phone until they pass out. When I asked if we could at least set a time limit, he snapped, “It’s my phone. My bedtime routine. You have no right to decide.” Is this really how things go in American families? Am I overreacting, or is it weird for little kids to fall asleep to glowing screens in the dark? I’m honestly furious and confused. How do you handle bedtime disagreements like this? Help me out before I lose my mind! 🤯😤 #ParentingConflicts #ScreenTimeDebate #MarriageStruggles #BedtimeBattles #RomanticRelationships2721Share
