wow!! a post reply without a smartass 88bronco comment...Im shocked...it must be the end of the world :willy_nilly:

People's kids are usually a sacred area I don't make jokes about. Now your spouse, parents, pets, sexuality, sexuality with pets, sexuality with family members (that aren't your children), addictions, substance abuse, porn collection, incompetence, incontinence, employment status, education level, social statues, music preferences, and just about anything else I can think of is fair game.

I think it depends on what time they typically get up in the morning and then back it up 10 or 11 hours!

my nine year old has always been an early riser so we always tried to get her to bed pretty early where as my older daughter always liked to sleep late.

At 3, the time is getting closer to getting him used to school times etc, but for now I'd be more concerned on how many hours of sleep he is getting rather than what time he is going to bed and getting up.

just my 2 cents worth

I have a 3 year old and he typically goes to bed at 8-8:30.

Summer seems to always through us off a bit. With it getting dark later, vacations and fewer naps because of pool time, we have found it best to adjust his bedtime according to what the day was like for him and what we are doing that evening.

8-8:30

On a side note, you can put them to bed anytime between 10PM and 2AM on Friday and Saturday nights, and those little people will still be up at the crack of dawn on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Make a joke about my social statues and see what happens.

Nothing hard and fast. I like what both hawk and cat said. See how your kid does in the am. If your kid gets up cranky or drags out of bed, not getting enough sleep. Getting up TOO early for you guys, push the time for bed back.

Mom and dad must both be on the same page and must ALWAYS win the battle over the kid. They need to be on your timetable not the other way around.

If you don't nip it now, it will dog all of you for years to come.

This plays a big role with discipling your kids too. There are times they might seem defiant etc, but check their sleep. Maybe they aren't getting enough or during the day a proper nap might make for a better evening for all parties.

Having a feel for that will help you know when a child needs to be punished for something(punish maybe not the best word) or simply a good nap or some food. Heck even us adults could gain from a good nap or some food to avoid being an angry jerk.

My youngest has always needed more sleep than my oldest... prior to starting school he would be in bed by no later than 8:30... now that he's in school, he's in the bed pretty much every night by 8, and he's 10. My oldest, which is now 14, has never needed much sleep and he stays up most nights until 10 and gets up at 6.

My youngest is like me... if I don't get 8 hours sleep, I'm a bitch the next day.

      We have to figure out our future core team

      By KaijuGato · Posted

      This is that desperate way of thinking. Yes, can Ward and Sanders might be the top two quarterbacks going into next year‘s draft but that is only a small part of the rebuild phase for this team. You’re talking about switching back to a 43 defense and going out and trying to get a 43 edge rusher, but we’re gonna have a hard time finding that in free agency versus going after them in the draft. There is a lot more defensive players on the front end of this upcoming draft and there is decent offensive players. So if we can get into bed with a team that falls in love with one of these quarterbacks we can potentially get a hall of draft picks if we trade back.  Then we start building that defense and a gap quarterback for the time being. There is a lot more quarterbacks that are worth more in the 2026 draft and there is this year‘s draft so if we play the game and keep building this team up that way a rookie quarterback can succeed in year one and not hope to succeed in your two or three with a  treacherous year one. A good run game and a good defense helps a rookie quarterback extremely. Hopefully with Brooks, the run game will be secured and if we use next year‘s free agency and draft to secure the defense, a rookie quarterback in 2026 can be successful.

      Pssssstttt.... Hey Tepper ..

      Of all the fancy tools used in player evaluation, it ALWAYS comes down to the eye test. Far, far from perfect but it is still the most reliable test going. This team under Tep has repeatedly ignored that one most. Crucial. Aspect. It’s like they lose the forest through the trees. Analytics works… when the data inputs are complete. Problem is that there will always be variables that are unique to that particular situation.

      No, we don't need to see Bryce Young again

      By 33inNC · Posted

      No, we don't need to play him anymore.  It is like needles to the eyes to constantly see him just suck, it reminds us more and more of the debacle we are in. Just cut bait with the bum. he is not NFL starter material.
