Why do Kids Hate Bedtime?

I have to take a moment as a parent to rant about this universal issue. I find it amazing just how many things kids can think of to do other than the thing they’re supposed to do but don’t want to. Like go to bed for example. The mysterious ailments that suddenly need immediate medical attention, the burning questions that just can’t wait, and my all-time favorite of course the good ole “I can’t sleep” . I think it’s rather amusing to say the least that kids actually think we would believe such ridiculousness.  It’s truly remarkable. I read you a story, massaged your little hands and feet, sang you at least 3 songs, you peed 5 times, blew your nose 4 times, took 20 min to go #2, had 3 nightmares, asked 10 questions, NOW GO TO SLEEP DAMMIT!! haha Ugh…
