Health, you are absolutely right. No one said being a parent was going to be easy, nor making the right decisions for your kids was going to be easy yet it is necessary. You can’t raise your kids according to other people’s values. It is up to you to do what is best for YOUR own kids. If it is 50 degrees outside and no one else is wearing a sweater will you allow your kid to go out without on? That is only your call. Bedtime is bedtime no matter what the other kids are doing. Your house rules are your house rules. Maybe you allow your kids to read two books each night and others allow only one. Maybe your kids get allowance and others don’t. There are different rules in different families. That is something you have to teach your kids from day one!
