going to go chill?

go read a book

Actually, I'm complaining. I have no where to go.

or play the guitar..

oh! LOL

lol

Rose stays up late - and I don't have the gumption to send her back to our room right now. If I listen to something on the 'puter, or play

guitar - I'm gonna bother her. . . that sounds weak, I know.

she is up now?

They've scratched up so many of their DVDs, when she finds something she likes often it doesn't work or she's yelling about it skipping

eventually.

Uhhhh, yeah - sometimes she doesn' t fall asleep until 12 or 1. . . i'm just not in the mood to boss her around right now. She's finally

settled down.

Kristin just left for work about 15 min ago

why do you let her stay up so late? (sorry if I'm being too nosy )

She's healthy and happy and listens to her parents and eats good. . . but I like to let her do her own thing to an extent.

She knows when Dad says "what" to listen good.

that works

(I can be scary, believe it or not) I just always want to use it in the right way, and her staying up is never a problem.

not for her either? Does she sleep late in the morning

nope. i wish. but she's never tired or cranky - and if she is, "Dad, I'm gonna take a nap."

I'll never be able to deny she came from me. Got a mind of her own for sure. You guys would all love her, no doubt.

I'm sure I would!

though I think I would attempt to get her to go to bed much earlier than this

but hey - everyone is different

yeah - i've got a little different parenting style than most, thats for sure
