Now, he's not a stupid brat ... be kind and compassionate with your inner child. If you get all nasty like that and call him names, he'll give you a run for your money!
Be nice!
Indulge the wanting to stay up past his bedtime IF there is a good reason, or only happens occasionally. Good sleep hygiene is so very important, explain this to him, discuss the issues then decide (as the adult here) if wanting to stay up past beddy time is appropriate (i.e. for an appropriate reason). Of course, while you're having the "importance of good sleep hygiene" talk with you inner child, you'll really need to stress the potential consequences of staying up past bedtime so that he understands this as well ... get ALL the information out on the table ... why you want to keep a bedtime, etc and on ... listen to him ... he's going to be following you around for the rest of your life so you best start having clear and informed discussions with him so that you can collectively make decisions that include both of you (the upside to this is that you win either way in whatever you decide) ... and BE NICE to YOURSELF and your inner child.
Many giggles ... have an awesome week!

Read him a bed time story to help him wind down or play JT's blocks on yahoo. That's how I indulge my inner child.

Make him run 4 miles every day and clean the house too. He will be so tired at the end of the day he won't keep you up at night anymore.

Let him stay up, and then when he starts feeling really bad in the mornings when he has to get up, he'll probably want to go to bed earlier of his own accord.

Let him 'have his way with you'. After a few nights, reality will sink in and bedtime will be bedtime.

Put away childish things and go to bed. Unless you'll get a spanking.
