Wade and I try to stick together when it comes to rules in our house. No eating in the TV room, no snacks unless you have a real meal first, no sleeping in Mom & Dad's bed except for "special occassions", no TV if you don't take a bath. We don't have a lot of rules so we try to keep to the ones we do have.
And sometimes...we give in to the little monster. Like last night when I left her in her room with a bed full of books and "guys" at 9:20 and she stayed up reading to the guys until 10. And then came to the bedroom door announcing she was scared. Sooooo, she came in our bed. Once we realized that no one would get any sleep this way, I went into her bed with her, where she covered me with the guys and turned the night light on and off about a million times. I fell asleep, I am not sure how long she was awake.
So much for sticking to the rules. I am hoping we are not the only parents who are always breaking our own house rules. Oh well, a happy kid equals happy parents, right? Even if it does mean sleeping in Mom & Dad's bed every once in a while and eating a few pieces of candy before dinner.
