I get it man. It’s really tough. How old is your kid? Mine is a 5 years old boy and he doesn’t seem to need a lot of sleep but a huge amount of companionship which really bugs me out.
In theory, it’s better to sleep early, get up around 5 and get 2 hours of quality time, but man he sometimes gets up around 6:15 and earlier, and I found it difficult to get good sleep anyway, so I tried to switch to 2 hours of night time, but he wants to sleep with me for 30 mins around 9pm before going to my wife’s bed, and I usually fell sleep sooner than he did…
Girls are much easier to raise. They sleep earlier and don’t fight too much, as far as I heard from friends.
- WD-42 1y agoI actually have some ideas about this kind of situation, drop me a line, email in my profile!
- IshKebab 1y ago> They sleep earlier and don’t fight too much, as far as I heard from friends. Definitely depends on the specific children!
- markus_zhang 1y agoI guess so. But the sample size is over 10, although not statistically significant but definitely something.
- osullivj 1y agoI'm now a post kids greybeard; two nats, two steps, both flavours. Yes, girls under 10 are easier than boys. That flips on you in the teen years!
- markus_zhang 1y agoThat sounds scary…I don’t know how to communicate with teenage boys. I had a lot of quarrels with my parents back then.
