I really love your blog! I just wrote my own blog entry about bedtime in our house describing the game of musical beds my family plays almost nightly. I, too, have a teething 11-month-old and a five-year-old who recently informed me that she hates sleeping, confirming what I’ve suspected since birth. Hang in there!

Although the mental anxiety when bedtime “treaty” is broken does seem to be universal (sigh for the sisterhood), as a one-time expat myself (also with an ultra busy husband at the time) I think there is an extra pressure, even burden, of escape-to-comfort-of-any-kind needed from time to time. Hmmm. At least I’m thinking that as I read this post. Sorry about all the eggplant: hope your Superstar still likes it when it’s getting overripe

Ahh yes I too understand. I often think they have a pack. You go get her, no its your turn, no let me, no I got a good one. lol I love them, and yet they can suck the life out of me. During the day the spit it back in. Valor, Honor and Sasa say hello…… hello, no go get in bed!

I’m glad to hear that there is a treaty in other people’s houses as well.

I’d like the record to show that I NEVER pinched my sister and woke her up… we’d be lying and giggling together and I’d tell her to go out and say she couldn’t sleep, but I never pinched and I never woke her up!

That’s a lotta eggplant.
I agree on the 8:00 My Time.
Grocery delivery. It sounds so simple. And heavenly.

Being as you used to pinch your sister and awaken her so that she would be the one who would tell us that she can’t sleep, I figure it’s coming back to bite you. Just kidding! I think kids somehow sense when something is different (like we have other plans once they’re in bed) and they try to stay up. Any excuse will do, even the forehead one (although that’s one of the best I’ve heard). Wish we were there to help you.

Lots of love,

I feel the same way. It’s like there’s some unwritten treaty– between children and mothers– at 8 o’clock you’re on your own. They’re violating the treaty for heaven’s sake. I want to shake my head, “I THOUGHT we had a DEAL here.”

The other night I said, “You’re killin’ me kid.” He thought it was the funniest thing he ever heard. I don’t think he knows about the treaty.

I think we mama’s start exhaling the moment we utter the word “bedtime.” The possibilities lie endless before us…
