Bedtime in our house has never really carried the word ‘routine’ along with it 😬 ‘arguments’, yes, ‘tantrums’, definitely (me, obvs), but not ‘routine’. At some point along the way I let go and the kids have managed themselves ever since.
The twins are 15 now and I’m getting that ‘surplus to requirements’ vibe which has probably been going longer than I care to admit! Like you, I’m hanging on to every moment I get. This year brings many changes and I’m determined to be that non-needy supporter... while allowing that sadness to exist.
Awww, Jan, that's beautiful. It's so hard to not let our emotions get in the way of our kids becoming independent and their own little humans. Also why do they fight it??? Going to bed is the best part of my day! :) Thank you so much for reading!
Oh my gosh I loved reading this! Thank you.
