Bed Times

Through facebook status’ I have seen that parents put their children to bed at all different times. Here in our house both boys go to bed at 8:30 pm on school nights. Even though their ages range quite a bit it has just been easier for us to get them to go down nicely when we do it together. 8:30 pm has worked well with us. What triggered this post is I saw another blogger state they were putting their children to bed at 6pm and that it was their regular bed time. Personally, it floored me to think of putting my boys to bed at that time as we are lucky to be eating dinner even then mainly due to my husband usually not being home from work yet. If I put my children to bed at that time they’d never get to see their father.
However, even if we were the family that ate at 5pm I still don’t think I put my kids off to bed at 6pm at night. Regardless of age.
What times do you put your kids to bed? If your kids are older when did you? If you don’t have kids what time do you consider to be a fair time to go to bed? Do you put your children to bed at different times? Do you think 6pm is an okay time?
