"I don't want bath! I want read book!"

We'll read some books in bed after your bath sweetie.

"Noooooooo!"

"No! No I want baaaaath!"

I'm not fighting to keep DST or anything, but I've never understood the issue. My kids had no issue switching their sleep patterns. Dunno, for a baby: morning nap 15 minutes earlier, afternoon nap 20 minutes earlier, bedtime 35 minutes earlier, done. I'm not saying people who struggle are wrong or lying, I'm saying I'm missing something. (And both my kids were bad sleepers.)

I just let the kids mostly keep their old schedule until Monday morning, when everything smashes forward an hour and it is daycares problem most of the day. I, however, want to die yesterday and today.
