...Bed Time...

[ChEEbA]

Ive been pondering.
When you people were children, what was your first parentally enforced "bed time"?
Also, did it change with age? How did that go?
Were there trial periods at later times before permanent implimentation?
Also, at what age did your parent/s/guardian/s just stop giving a fuck about it?

Here's mine.
*Up until the age of 6, It was 7:30pm.
*At 7, It was 8:00pm, IF I ws watching a show that carried over.
*At 8, It went up to 8:30pm...first of all for few nights a week, then all the time.
*At the age of 10, After pushing little by little, it went up to 10:30pm, but I'd stay awake in my room reading or like...dissassembling/reconstructing electrical devices and toys until I got bitched at.
*At 12-13, around about when I started going to highschool, I was allowed to stay up 'til midnight, and I could quietly watch tv in my room thereafter...this was the beggining of my "bed time' independance....bit by bit the boundaries were deconstructed, and at one point, my mother caught me watching tv at about 2am in the living room, half asleep, I was told "you stupid boy, I just don't care anymore, don't blame me if you can't wake up for school in the morning!" (Like I cared).
From that point onwards, I was free!

Tell me your stories...assuming some of you ancient folk can actually remember.

Until I was probably around 5-6, it was right after Star Trek got over[Around 7:00, I think]:D I was so obsessed with that show back then:cool:

Then Im pretty sure it was around 8:30 for a few years, till I got into Dragon Ball Z, then I could stay up till 9:30!

Now, my parents have givin up telling me when to go to bed [nt that Id listen anyway], but usually I try to get to sleep by 10, I have a paper route so I gotta get up really early *yawn*

It can get very annoying:rolleyes: Yeah...It never stops...It goes from "Don't forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed" and "Don't leave your bicycle out in the rain" to "You need to refinance your mortgage RIGHT now, while the rates are low" and "You know, if you get a ticket your insurance is gonna go up"


Just wait until the furnace man shows up at your door at 10am because your mother has scheduled a furnace cleaning (without your knowledge) because "They were having a special, and I KNOW you haven't had it done in over 3 years":rolleyes:



'Annoying'?....That's the understatement of the millenium...lol

[novakru]

I had no set time until I had a stable homelife at 13 and my bedtime was 9pm and when I turned 15,it was up to me to decide.

[ChEEbA]

I don't know why I made this thread...totally bored with it now.

Hows this?
I got a pizza menu...*gooooosfraba*...
They have dessert pizzas. I found a new one that they didn't have last time.
The Malibu: Sliced Mango & rasberries on a cream patisserie base topped with white chocolate pieces, shredded coconut and drizzled with Malibu rum...
All going well, I will be eating one tonight, and...you'll all be dead.
Scratch that.
I meant "and you won't", unless of course you go out and make one, just to spite me, but that'd be petty. However, I'll overlook that if any of you actually DO...I'll be interested in your end result, at least, if I don't forget.
I wonder if they'd do it if you asked for a dessert pizza with anchovies....hmm....yep, that's it you can stop reading........................................... .....................................

Is it necessary to *die* after every post. I mean, your resurection bill must be higher than Jesus'.

[Katrina]

Off Topic:

Your apology is being considered for acceptance.

On Sunday and Monday I was allowed to stay up until football and/or wrestling went off.

[Marroe]

after Roseanne and Mama's Family went off, so like 11pm or so. Now that they don't come on at night anymore, I just don't know where to go with my life....so I just sleep at random points thru out the day. I'm generally out before 7pm.

I too was much younger when it was still running but I also watched the reruns(and still do sometimes) when I was a teenager, I just figured that you might've too.

I can tell you're not old from your pictures, unless you've found the fountain of youth and you're holding out on us.
