re: ..........

I think your sister has a bit more to be concerned with than the bedtime of her children & what YOU think of it. Again, they are HER children. You can let your child stay up until midnight if you think it's what's best for him. She obviously think it's best for the kids to be in bed by 7pm. Since when is it a big deal what time other children go to bed anyway?!  

Quoting MommaNoodle:" i was wondering the same, lol.. i noticed my daughter (not autistic) was being cranky during the day, ... [snip!] ... next day, she was a whole new kid and had a great day at school! so, i'd assume for a kid with autism, it could help as well. "

exactly.... only the mom can really know what is best for the kids... you cant just "put your kids to bed to get them out of your hair" as she suggested. sorry it doesnt work like that.

my kids are atypical and dont use the TV at night... also we try to get them down as early as possible... for THEIR benefit.... not ours...

OP is disgusting

I guess this went different than I was expecting. I guess I feel different, and that is fine. I just feel bad for the kids. I do know how the kids are, I do spend quite a bit of time with them. Someone mentioned it is different spending a day vs spending multiple days, I have spent over a week, alone with the children, I know how they are. I also know how their parents are. I know that yelling and screaming at kids isn't the way you take care of behavior problems. And for that matter neither is kicking your kid across the room. ( which I have seen them do. And yes they were turned in for it. ) I truly believe they are putting to bed that early for the wrong reasons.

I am really not as bad as you all think. I really care for those little boys, and I feel that maybe spending time with their parents would help them more. If me feeling this way is disgusting, than I guess I must be.

And yet you conveniently mention none of that in the OP.

Good job!

Mm hmm, I would say getting kicked across the room is more of a concern than going to bed at 7 PM.

I wasn't expecting the post to go this way. I actually thought more people would think the way I do. I seriously feel terrible for the kids. I have brought it up on multiple occasions. I seriously think they put them to bed so early for selfish reasons. Not because they need the extra sleep. But like I said before, If worrying about it makes me awful, and a disgusting bitch, then so be it. I am going to continue to feel this way.

So because no one sided with you, you're now saying that they are abusive? Literally zero people in this thread are going to believe your lying ass.

ok, so what concern is it of yours now? if they were turned in for it and still have the kids, then it would seem like the case was thrown out, or that they have changed their ways.... idk, though. and, honestly, if they were so frustrated that they did that, then i would be happy that they were putting the kids to bed "early". i'm sure it's helping both parties to be much calmer.

7pm is not early.

I don;'t care if you believe me. honestly, I was thinking more people would agree about the bedtime. I am not lying, My BIL is an ass. He has on multiple occasions done things that are abusive, physically, and mentally. Mostly to the older boy. I honestly feel bad.

but you never said before that you felt bad for them for any kind of abuse, only now. you originally felt bad because they have to go to bed at 7 pm.

A week is still not every day. If your sister is THAT bad of a parent, why is your complaint that they have to go to bed early and not watch tv?

My kids are GREAT for other people to, I think most kids are, because those people AREN'T mom and dad.

My son's only way of communicating until he was almost 4 was to bite me. Just me though, because he knew I would figure it out. Anyone else, he would just go into his shell. I didn't tell even my closest family how bad things were, or how I was feeling, because it's embarassing to admitt you can't control your own child, that you can't get them to understand.

You will NEVER know exactly what it's like to be the mother of a special needs child until you are. You could raise them for a month, and still not ACTUALLY get it.

I love my son, wouldn't change him for the world, but he is BY FAR the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. Love him to pieces and proud as hell of him, but nothing prepares you for it and what you need is a family that supports you and understands, not judges you and thinks they know better.
