do you?

Keep your kids up to watch the ball drop for those of us on the east coast or up until midnight? Do you let them only if they ask? Just curious because my SO thinks we should keep my 4 year old up to watch the ball drop but I think its kind of stupid at his age. His normal bed time is at 7 the latest 8 so yeah, another 4 hours might make my son a complete terror just to see a stupid glowing ball drop.

Yeah...hell no.
lol

That would mean having to find a way to keep them happy since their bed time is around 8 and they get super cranky when they don't go to sleep at their regular time.

they're 2 and 4.

We're not keeping our 4 year old up. Pointless imo. Not worth the crankiness that will ensue tomorrow

I have a 4 and 2 year old. Nope...they won't remember anyways. lol

I used to put the clocks ahead, the only ones my daughter would see and when the ball went down on the east coast it was bedtime. Then I changed the clocks back to the normal time. Now this year, she's 11 and has a friend over and I don't care if they are up till midnight

No its just another day for us.

7 & 2.5 year old.
my youngest doesn't believe in sleep, so, she might be up, (giving no craps about the new year, ha)
but my oldest, nah, he has an 8pm bedtime, stay up later than usual tonight for our little "party" together- yup. Til midnight- nope.

I do.. We just had a nap, so she will be up a while.. We watch the ball drop together & once it hits 12:00 we all kiss.

My 6 year old wants to stay up until midnight tonight. Her normal bedtime is 8:30 so I told her good luck trying.  

He swears I'm like making my oldest miss out on something. I'm like seriously he won't even remember or care really. As horrible as it sounds I look forward to my sons bedtime because then I finally get some quiet time to myself lol

That made me lol.

Yes if he wants (he's 3) but it's not unusual for him to stay.up that late.anyway.

She's dead set on doing it, so I don't see the harm in letting her try. I highly doubt she'll make it though.
