January 5 2016 Kids

Ok, so here is the thing about my life, I read about people and kids going to bed at a set time and enjoying that glass of wine before bed. HAHAHA, not my life. I read about people wanting world peace and a cure for cancer, and I am here just wishing my child would sleep through the night. He is three, not an infant and his favorite past time is sleeping from 4-6 ever day. This means up till midnight. He is like his father and I, to a certain extent, he likes his sleep. It's very hard to wake him up once he has fallen asleep. It is just as difficult to get him to go back to sleep once he wakes up.
I have tried so many times to have him on a schedule. My mother always told me, bath, book and bed. It worked great for my oldest. The baby, not so much. He likes baths at 2 in the after noon or midnight. I try to put him in the bath after dinner and he throws a fit. I have been reading to him much more often but it has to be first thing in the morning or he throws the books at me.  His idea of bed is to sleep on the couch.
No,  I am not looking for advice because every parent has their own style and each child is different. It would be great to be able to relax before I go to bed, not fall asleep in my child's bed most nights. I know things will get easier as he gets older and sooner than later he will be gone, but for now I am getting older and loosing brain cells on the lack of sleep I am getting.
