Everyone knows one of the hardest challenges of parenthood is getting your children to fall asleep at a decent hour. It can be a real headache.
One mom has come up with the perfect solution to the age old problem of kids not respecting the nighttime routine. First we have to make sure the kids know when their bedtime is supposed to be.
Instead of waiting until 8pm to tell her it is time for bed she waits until 7:15pm and she will ask her at 7:15pm if she'd like to stay up late or go to bed, and if the toddler says she would like to stay up late, then she goes to bed at 8 her actual bed time.
The mom says lie to them. They don't need to know what time it is. The mom has never told her daughter what time it is according to Mirror. She pretends her kid is staying up late. This is how you save all the drama at bedtime.
The mom claims even the once the children have learned to tell the time themselves the key to the hack is to not tell your kids what time their bedtime really is. They may know what time it is but they do not know what time bedtime is. She has gotten some slack from parents who claim they will never trick or lie to their kids but it seems to work just fine for this mom.
