Parenting after a Loss

Poll: What do you do when LO goes to sleep?

What time does your LO go down at night, and what do you do afterwards?

DD goes down between 7:30 and 8:30.  DH and I do a few chores - clothes in the washer, clean up the kitchen, etc.  Then we usually watch a TV show on the computer together before bed.  It is so light here (sun doesn't even really start to go down until after 9), that we have to trick ourselves into being sleepy by drawing the shades and getting into bed a good hour before we turn out the lights.

  • DD goes to bed at 7:00 p.m.  We used to eat dinner after she went to bed, but now that she eats just about everything we try to eat as a family.  I pretty much do nothing productive after DD goes to bed.  Watch a little TV or return some emails, but I consider myself "off-duty" once she's asleep.  I try to do household chores before I start cooking dinner.  DD gets some quality daddy time in then.

    DS is usually down around 8:00, I go to bed between 9:00 and 10:00 most nights. DH goes to bed later.

    I make his bottles for the next day at daycare (DH washes the bottles while I'm feeding DS) then we have some downtime - usually computer or TV time. When it's cooler out I take a bath each night. I also pump right before going to bed.

  • DS goes down between 6:30-7p and we usually eat dinner (if DH got home late) and watch tv, check e-mail, etc. However, I just bought 30 Day Shred and that's what I will be doing post-bedtime!

  • DD goes to bed between 7 and 7:30.  We've been eating dinner after she goes to bed. We hang out, watch tv, I work. Sometimes do some cleaning. I need to start getting to bed earlier.
  • DS goes to sleep around 8, 8:30 if it's a bath night. 

    I straighten up the house for 30 minutes or so, then read or watch TV.  Sometimes I have to do work stuff.  I try to get to bed by 10pm because he wakes up at 5:30am.

  • pretty much the same... some chores, cleaning, work, tv.

    oh and he usually goes to sleep by 8

  • DD is usually down between 9-10 which is when I usually sit down and just relax, either watching tv or reading a book. I go to bed pretty late (as some of the "old LNN'ers might recall) so I've got plenty of time after she goes down. Oh, and I also do a final pump before I go to sleep.

  • I usually clean up around the house.  Then DH and I watch TV (we have been watching the LOST series from the beginning and are pretty addicted).  I also pump before bed.  Occasionally I do some work too.  I also have to get his bottles ready for the next day.

  • DD goes down between 9:00 and 9:30 so I just go to bed!  I get any housework and her bottles for the next day done before or right after dinner.  Then we "play" until bath/bed time.

    I get up at 5:00 to pump and shower before she gets up between 6:00 and 6:30.

    DD1: 3/31/10 DD2: 9/7/11
