I Always Wondered How That Works

By -
Last night the dinner conversation turned to the dynamics of the staggered bedtimes that we have adapted at the HB household.  The older the child, the later the bed time.  That seems simple enough to me.

My 11 year old gets a bed time that is a half hour later than his 9 year old brother. It seems they have differing opinions as to how that should work out.

My 9 year old speaking to my 11 year old:

"My bed time is the same as your bedtime except you get to spend YOUR half hour of reading time upstairs doing something other than reading."

Hmmm, then when does HIS reading time start?  And what is the literal meaning of bed time? I actually thought they were going to sleep when they went to bed.  Huh, who knew?

The fabric is light with a snug fit and made to just take the chill off. Fodada has partnered with two great organizations that care for kids.     Giving Children Hope is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating poverty (domestically and abroad) through disaste...
