My parents went to bed at 10pm. No matter what.
I had to be in bed by 9pm up until my senior year. After that I was allowed to watch tv until 11pm.
I couldn’t “date” until I was 16. Except my first REAL boyfriend happened to be the son of my parents classmates so that was okay. I snuck in a couple months early.
I was a cheerleader. I was a track team member. I played team volleyball. I was on the honor society and in school clubs.
But if any of those functions interfered with my parent’s bedtime I either had to leave early or I didn’t attend.
Heaven forbid if the BB game went into overtime and my parents had to get out of bed to come get me. No. I left the game early. The mascot. Humiliating.
I am now the parent of a 12 and 9 yr old.
My husband wants to go to bed at 8:30 every night.
I understand, he gets up at 5am to be at the gym and then puts in a full day at the office. I get it.
But where is it written that a father’s job stops after he’s been fed a full course dinner?
Does MY job stop after dinner?
