There are many struggles involved with parenting. One of the most frustrating ones in our homes is getting our children to go to bed at a reasonable time. It appears to be a global problem, too. But as the attached article points out, some British parents have the ideal solution – bribery. The blog below reports that “the British company Munch Bunch recently released a study of 3,000 British parents, showing that more than one in five moms and dads resort to bribing their kids to go to bed.” Some of the bribery tactics include:
- Letting kids stay up later on the weekend.
- Letting them watch a bit more TV. (Hmmm, Letterman perhaps?)
- Offering brownies and other sweets (unless they have Sominex in them, this is not a wise decision).
- Signing the deed of their homes over to their children (Ok, we joke, but you get the point).
Have you ever bribed a kid to bed? Come on, be honest.
- 17 percent of parents say they promised a later weekend bedtime
- 28 percent let the kids watch TV “a bit more”
- 6 percent bribed the little tykes with brownies, cookies and other sweets
