That’s exactly how it should be. Some of my best memories are the occasions when my parents let me stay up past bedtime, the first being Neil Armstrong’s first step.
I have great memories of my dad, mom, sis and I going to the local drive in to watch some great B horror and science fiction flicks. Not to mention staying up late to watch Night Gallery curled up in the covers with my sister. Fun times.
yes! that's wonderful...
personally, we hardly do any type of cookie cutter anything in our home... certainly not cookie-cutter parenting...
