Isn't 7 pm a normal bedtime for a kid? Don't kids need at least ten hours of sleep a night? So if your kid gets up at 6:30 or earlier to catch the bus at 6:45 to be at school at 7:30, isn't bed by 7 or 7:30 required? If not for the kid, at least for the parent? :) And yes, I remember hearing the porkbelly prices in the morning when my dad would adjust the master volume on the intercom instead of the kitchen volume when he was eating his breakfast at 5 a.m. before riding his bike to work. My dad, way ahead of his time. (Yes, he was in the air force, but grew up in a small town surrounded by dairy farms and his grandfather was a cattle broker, so these were His People.) Yes, my parents are midwesterners. Why do you ask? Umm. Isn’t 7 pm a normal bedtime for a kid? Don’t kids need at least ten hours of sleep a night?
