So this is my first dad related post on here and feel a bit new to this lol. I'm the father of a beautiful 10 month old girl, I'm also a first time dad. Well the wife and I have been struggling with her to set up a routine and to have her go to bed at a decent hour...(means extra time for me on destiny too lol, don't tell the wife :/). Well I was curious on what the other dads have done, what worked well and what didn't? I know fatherhood is kinda like a trial and error type thing but having the occasional cheese isn't always a bad thing :).

Edited by Darthmaximus: 2/4/2015 5:46:30 PMRoutine is key. My 3yr old is so much on a schedule and routine that when its screwed with leading up to bed time he like freaks out and doesn't want to go to bed. If he doesn't get his dinner, bath, then movie time with me or cartoons with mom, then 2-3 short stories before bed he won't go to bed. We have had family visiting on and off for the last 3 weeks and he is nothing but a total crab ass. For better or worse they have all went back home and we are able to get him back on his schedule. Only problem is he has set his bedtime anywhere between 7 and 730. Kind of puts a cramp in wanting to go out for dinner or something after work but thats ok, cooking at home is healthier and generally cheaper. Oh and his wake up time no matter the day of the week is b/t 5 and 6 am...fun stuff.
