This is why we trust but verify. Thanks mom for teaching me that cruel lesson of unplugging the phone cord to get me to bed (dial up days). It lasted about a week before I caught on you always came up from the basement before bed.
I'm so glad you never noticed I swapped my line with the guest bedroom. Also glad that ancient block in the basement could be hand wired.
Ah the eternal arms race between parents and children. For me it was lights out so I couldnโt read, circumvented with a flashlight under the blanket.
My sister got told off regularly for reading after lights out
As adults my mother told me that after they found books for me I liked they pretended to never notice the light leaking through my doona, they were just happy to see I was reading
You need enough sleep.
Part of being an adult is never getting enough sleep and almost always being tired.
That's "parent" not "adult"
I with no kids at home have excellent sleep
Teens are the ones (after new mothers) who suffer the most, with natural sleep cycles starting around midnight or in the early morning and wake times in the late morning or early afternoon, but school schedules that force them to be active at school from 9am
Sure, but I'm assuming the "mom" in OP's story was just trying to help their child get enough sleep.
