If you usually handle bedtime and stick to a fairly strict routine, what happens when your partner takes over one night and doesn’t handle it the exact same way?

The good news is that children can differentiate the expectations with different adults, and so long as you hold firm to your bedtime boundaries, tomorrow night won’t be a struggle even if you took the night off tonight.
