What is your children's bedtimes? My neighbor gave me the side eye for putting DS to bed at 7. I thought that was pretty common for this age. Honestly, I have tried to push it a bit later, but he won't have it. I also wake him up by 6 ( if he isn't up already, which is often the case) on days I work.

Together since July 21 2002
DS1: Quinn - 10.22.10 and DS2: Cole - 01.18.13
It annoys me when people give the side eye about this kind of stuff. Who cares as long as the kids are getting the sleep they need. I've also gotten comments about why I put my kids to bed so early.
IMO, the parents where one is a SAHM/D or they work later shifts is where I typically see kids have a later bedtime. But I'm at work by 7am everyday (DH by 8am). We also each have an hour commute. So our kids need to be up early just so we can get them fed, dressed, and DH drops them off at daycare by 7am, so we can each go to work.
Whatever works for your family!!
Your neighbor needs to simmadownnah! There is really no cause to side eye anyone for putting their child to bed at whatever time works for the child and the household to get enough sleep for the night. The end.
My 28 month old goes to bed at 730 and will sleep to 730 if uninterrupted which rarely happens.
My 6 year old goes to bed at 8 and gets up 630 ish.
They are all different but it works for us. When #2 was the age #1 is now he would sleep 7pm-7am. Different kids need different things and we all do what works!

I have a Daughter born 2/26/2013. She is pretty much amazing!
We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013. We love her to pieces.
We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
I still say it depends on the kid. My dd does best with being asleep by 9:30 and waking around 8:30 or 9. She sleeps all night and naps great. I am sure if I worked or she was just a early riser, or she wasn't sleeping/napping well, we would have to adjust obviously, but this works best for us now. Plus it gives dh time with her at night and me time to myself before she wakes up.

Sorry, I read it as you saying you had read all the sleep books and therefore thought early bedtimes were best across the board. I apologize if I misunderstood your point.
