Julio Gonzalez Being a single dad of now a 5-7-8 . I have no time for foolishness. Playtime is playtime, and bedtime is bedtime. Raising kids without any help is hard enough. Then once their asleep. It’s Bacardi time.

Jeff Mathis The 10 year old, we just say go to bed, and he does, lol. The 4 year old, is a different story…He forgets he had to use the bathroom, get a drink, whatever. He’s so creative with excuses as to why he can’t go to sleep yet.

Kelly Clark Tell them if they dont go to bed….you’ll turn angry….and that they wont like it when mom or dad get angry…..add a bit of green makeup for the full effect.

James SagpaoI bought a small portable speaker that connected to 12hour thunder and storm sounds from youtube.
