As there are seven in this house of varying school ages (1 pre-school) bedtimes are not contested as such otherwise it would be chaos! The teenagers are generally about 9.30-10.00pm, nine/ten year olds 8.30-9.00pm with the youngest at 7.30 with a story. Anyone caught playing MP3's or with phones have them confiscated for a week - the teenagers especially don't like that

Only complaints we sometimes get are during holidays when they whinge on about not having school the next day. Don't mind on occasion but it is considered a treat.
