Who is the worst Mom in the world when it comes to enforcing bedtime rules? My arm is raised and my hand is waving. Of course, I have a teenager and a young adult at home (well sometimes at home, sometimes not). Often I go to bed ahead of my girls and leave the shoo’ing to the father.
Therefore you won’t get any argument from me about Sometimes, you gotta break the rules,
Daddy: Punkin! Get in here!
All four of us, snuggling in bed.
Me: Surprise! It’s Family-Movie-Popcorn-Snuggle Night!
Cue the giggles, jumping on the bed, squeezing in under the covers, hugs, snuggles, laughs and absolute love fest. Sigh. Who needs bedtime?
Okay okay, we do. We absolutely need bedtime. But sometimes, you just gotta break the rules. Sometimes, it’s okay to sacrifice the clock to gain unforgettable family snuggle time.
Sounds to me like Mediocre Mom and her husband are really some of the BEST parents around. Applause applause for creating those fantastic memories for their children!
