@easternorthodox This. 5yr olds don't set their own bed time, or wake-up time. Mom/dad/whoever tells them it's bed time, and enforce it. They also wake them up when necessary. It's *not* fun, but it's 100% a need. IDK when school is, but it only gets worse for wake-up time as they get older. My...

@arrowzahns Good for you. Tell him, and any/everyone else blaming breastfeeding on kiddo's 'bad sleeping' to kick rocks. FFS. He is the problem. Not you. Not her. HIM. Ugh.

@jboucher This. My boys are 12 &14, and still need to be reminded to get shoes on and out the door and onto the bus on time. There's no way a five year old can be expected to get themselves out the door in time.

@jilnaan My boys are older now (13 & 16), but I read aloud to them, every night till just a few yrs ago now. I think I stopped when they were ~11 & 13ish respectively. Over the years, we read all sorts of books. When they were little, we did picture books - Dr Suess and Bill Pete and such. As...
