I remember The Great Brian and Ralph S. Mouse as two of our favorites (when my dad was on reading duty, it was more likely Sherlock Holmes or The Hardy Boys). I think we continued this routine until I was 12 and my brother was 10. Then we were expected to read on our own before lights out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-ever-having-a-bedtime-routine#post-237376 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 06:09:14 +0000 Andrea 237376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember brushing my teeth and reading before bed. I don't know what my parents were doing. I don't think they read to me either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-ever-having-a-bedtime-routine#post-237137 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:10:51 +0000 Freckles 237137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember taking a bath at night either, but i do remember my mom would always read to me, or at least make up a story. Poor woman, she was always so tired from work that she would fall asleep while talking to me.</p> <p>Once i got older, i would always read a book after brushing my teeth and then my parents would yell at me to go to bed already. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-ever-having-a-bedtime-routine#post-237048 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:36:42 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 237048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my parents never read to me at bedtime either! i remember getting my jammies on, brushing my teeth, washing my face, and then hopping into bed. i usually read til my mom came in to tell me to go to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-ever-having-a-bedtime-routine#post-237047 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:36:38 +0000 MrsSPB 237047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had what we would call a routine, but it didn't feel like one at the time. It was just what we did. I took my bath, brushed my teeth and my mom brushed my hair. My mom and I read the Children's Daily bible. Then I went to bed. Once I started school, I had to read every night from a book that wasn't for a school project. My mom wanted to make sure I learned to enjoy reading for pleasure and not just for school. It's still a habit I follow to this day - always read a little bit each day from a book that isn't work related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-ever-having-a-bedtime-routine#post-237032 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:32:03 +0000 chopsuey 237032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I ever took a bath at night?

My parents never read to me (too tired from working all day) or do anything out of the ordinary.</p> <p>Did you have a bedtime routine as a kid? </p>
