It’s hard to be calm at bedtime when your kid is testing the final ounce of patience you have remaining.
There are only a few tasks left by the end of the day. We are so close to the finish line. All he needs to do is put on his PJs, brush his teeth and get in bed for his story. What should take 15, 20 minutes tops can sometimes take a half hour or more. And why? Because he acts like this isn’t what we do literally every night. Or he’s still so energetic that he turns bedtime into playtime. Just trying to get him to focus is like pulling teeth.
Parents need grownup time, and the only time we usually get it is after the kids have gone to bed. That time looks different for all of us — sometimes you’re actually just trying to get to bed yourself. Other nights it looks like ice cream and Netflix. Or maybe a nice hot bath or shower. And as much as we don’t want to, we know we’re being short with our kids at the end of the day because they’re the barrier between us and that much-needed relaxation time.
