"A very large part of that is giving my son his own blissful childhood, imagine that."


I can, and I applaud you and all other parents who try to do that as well.

Having a bedtime routine or a time when you typically have the children in bed isn't foreign to me. . .but the slavery you have to the clock. . .the rigidity with which your children's lives are scheduled IS foreign to me.


Heaven forbid they not be in bed PROMPTLY at 8 pm. . .Lord knows they'll turn into pumpkins if the Chutes and Ladders game runs 'over' and you don't get them to bed until 8:15 . . .(gasp) the horrors. . .
