Bedtime! Right now!

I watch my kids every night wanting to do it, and even trying to stay up later, but the bottom line is that they shouldn’t and therefore don’t. My wife and I make sure they don’t stay up too late. Now on the other side of this coin, I also notice most nights that my wife and I love, and we even try to go to bed earlier, but we shouldn’t because of all the things we still have to do as parents. .

So, let’s get them to go to bed! And once again parents, thank you in advance for all that you do and all that you will do …
