I think the majority of the time it is okay for women to stay up as late as their husband does but during certain times of the month they need to be put to bed at an appropriate bed time. It is essential that during stressful times and that 'certain time of the month' that they get the proper sleep so they hopefully can wake up feeling refreshed, less moody, and less cranky. This can often times fall on the responsibility of their husband to set an appropriate bedtime for them. Some women might be against this at first but, it is for their own good. Plus, their husbands can make it fun for them by giving them a stuffed animal to sleep with until he comes to bed at a later time. He could also read her the Bible at night (but make sure it is not a violent or sad story). He could pray with her and then give her a kiss good night. Then he could get some things he needs to do like fix some things or work on the computer. It would benefit both of them. Agreed?

First, I want to say to you that choosing not to resume a relationship with the father of your child does not mean he has to be denied the right to see his father. You need to set up a visitation schedule that you both can agree on. Raising your child in a safe and loving environment, one in which his parents are able to put their differences aside and focus on his needs is far more important then the genders of the people that live under one roof. You owe your self happiness as well. After all, how healthy can it be for a child to grow up in a house full of tension and devoid of love. I am a parent, I understand the challenges of raising children in a world that may not always treat my children fairly because they don't have a traditional family structure. Your ex may want to rekindle a relationship with you on the grounds that it would give your child the opportunity to have a traditional family. And that it's the right thing to do for your son. Don't let him guilt you. If he was really concerned about this issue then he wouldn't have fathered 3 other children with 2 other woman. Good luck and stay true to yourself. L

Not agreed. Personally I would not like that at all. None of it.
At my age no one puts me to bed. No one ever has since I was wee. My mother found the only peace of her day when we were sleeping. She was a night owl. All my life I remember her knitting and watching Johnny Carson until 1 am or so. Often Dad was already sleeping or up in his office or down in the tool shop. She was still up early and had breakfast ready for us to get off to school.
I read to my children. I dislike being read to because I am a heavy reader already. I read faster than anyone can read and I like to read until the book falls on my face, which is usually very short. And I have never found that sad or violent stories kept me up, but then I have never been into them anyhow. But history can be very exciting. The worst problem for me is if a book grips my imagination and I want to read all night, but of course that is not possible.
I have a large stuffie I sleep with at times, but giving her a stuffie as company is treating her like a child. A woman, a wife, is an adult woman.
This is carrying controlling to a place that I don't approve of at all. Besides, once there are babies, bedtime hours are shot to heck anyhow because baby sets the schedule. The moment a child is born, sleeping does not go back to routine for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng time.
So, this is very impractical when you consider it from that aspect.

Not just certain times of the month all times of the month. Women take on alot of responsibilities. It takes alot of energy out of a woman especially at that time of the month. I choose when I go to sleep but it is usually an hour before my husband. During "that time of the month" earlier because I am anemic and my body get weak and tired very very easily.

If you could put me 2 bed with a stiff drink, a nice body rub, a foot rub and maybe run a hot bath before all of this and oh yeah, take care of the kids and clean the house.
That would help with that time of the month a great deal and yes I would be happy 2 go bed early!
By the way Mama (answer above mines)I love your response, you are funny!

Okay, I see your intentions here to try to make things better for both people in the relationship, but I don't believe that the husband should be giving orders to go to bed, so let's rephrase the question please.
But, trying to be open minded, I think that you have a good idea.. Sometimes women want to be alone in that time of the month, but sometimes they want to be cuddled. Another good idea could be some "women's cycle tea mixed with chammomile tea" and honey that the MAN could prepare for her before going to bed to relax, accompanied with a heating pad, naproxen -for muscle aches- and a leg massage or something. I know that would leave me snoring!
No bedtimes please... We are not children. Thank You!

Why can't he join her? If he were going to be caring to his wife and help her get to bed early to see that she can get extra rest, he should be right there with her to put his arm around her or hold her...not just send her there and give her a stuffed animal to keep her happy. We're women, not children.

This is the funniest thing I have ever read. You are joking right. Women are not pets or children you put to sleep or to bed.
Women are living thinking human beings and we do not need our husbands to tuck us to bed and tell us when to go to bed or when to get up, even if it is for our own good as you say.
Seriously, you must be joking. I have been married for 36 years and my husband and I respect each other very much, but if it ever came the day that he started telling me, dictating to me when to go to bed, I would go find another house to sleep in. Yes, he has mentioned many times, to go to bed when I am tired or ill.. but he would never dictate to me.
I do not believe you when you claim you are thinking of all this for the woman's benefit, being that time of the month.. Like a woman does not know her own body and what she needs.. I think you just want your own private time on the computer.. God knows what for.. And she would never suspect you, you praying over her and such with the bible too.
Get real.. women are not children.. they are adults. and a husband does not own her like he owns a pet, she can think for herself..
Good luck to your wife.

How caring of you.
I would love to be "put to bed" at an early bedtime every night!
Edit:
Good grief! I'm a tired mom of 3... I'd love to get to sleep early all the time!

No. I don't agree at all. In case you haven't noticed, or recently joined this century, women have their own minds and as such, their own thoughts and opinions. Yes, it's nice to be pampered, but we are not children and need not be told to go to bed.
I really hope this is a joke. Or sarcasm to get those who believe in equality fired up.
