what time do you put your kids to bed??? i put our 3yr7month dd to bed between 7.30/8 oclock and she sleeps till 8/8.30ish. my son is 1 and goes to bed at the same time. wakens for a bottle at 6 then goes back to bed till 8. i think i have it made but now my hubby says he thinks the kids should go to bed between 6.30/7ish. i would love that too but i dont want to have the kids up bouncing at 6am which they do do the few times we have tried. am i being unreasonable or is my hubby right?

We put my son in bed between 7 and 8, but he will frequently sing and talk to himself in bed until 9 or 10. He tends to get up at 7am

They say that 3 year olds need about 11 - 13 hours of sleep a day, so it would depend on whether or not your 3 year old takes a nap. My son turned 3 in April & he is awake at 6:15 every morning. We start his night routine at 6:30 & lights out at 7:00. He is usually asleep by 7:30. There aren't really any set bedtimes, just set minimum sleep time, so if your kids are sleeping in until 8 or 8:30, that is about 12 - 13 hours, so if there is no nap, or just an hour or so, you're right on the money.
