On average how many times do you tell your kids to go to bed?

Tonight it was 3 times and I had to tell them if I had to tell them again their play date this Thursday with their friend would be cancelled.

They fell asleep in 5 minutes!

I'm lucky with that...my boy likes to read himself to sleep so he crawls in bed when I tell him and he's sleepy by the time I say lights out. Now how many times do I have to tell him to get dressed??? Oye vey!

Lol that used to work with my oldest (10) but since he shares a room with the little one (7) it's all giggles at bed time....

@Tristemuneca: ohhh, enjoy the giggles while they last. My 19 yr old doesn't giggle anymore. 😞

@Archiesgirl: aw I know sometimes I just sit up and listen to the playground "gossip" my 10 yr old has started puberty and so sometimes he's very moody with me.
So I guess I do let them get away with it sometimes because I see that little kid still hanging on before puberty completely takes over 😬

It's funny because the giggles are over my son having a crush on a girl and my younger son thinking it's gross and the older one telling him "when you're older you'll understand" 😂😂😂😂

Have you ever seen the comedia Gabriel Iglesias (fluffy) talk about coaxing his son to use deodorant?!
That's totally what I'm going through right now! Lol
