It depends what it is. I declined a dinner party invite at 6:30 last night b/c E's bedtime is 6:45. I don't like to mess with weeknight sleep....or weeknights in general. Otherwise i don't get stuff done before work the next day. I have no problem staying out late Fri/Sat with her

We do keep LO out or up past her usual if there's a family party or something unusual like the other night when I waited for DH to get home from work so we could both go vote. LO has never had any resemblance of a nap schedule and fights sleep so missing a daytime nap to attend an event isn't something I worry about.

I'm not a big fan of messing with nap time simply because it really sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Bedtime is a little more negotiable. Tonight we will have them out a bit later because of my Dad's birthday party. By the end I expect they'll be melting down a little bit, but we will have a 45 minute drive home and they'll be able to sleep in the car on the way back. I'll have them in their pjs so it will just be a quick transfer from car seat to bed.

E doesn't have a set bedtime. We try between 7:30 and 8:30 but she has stayed up until 10 before because we were out - it has never affected her sleep.

B is super flexible so I have no problem pushing nap/bedtime back. His normal bedtime is on the later side (8:30ish most nights) but he's been out as late as 11:30 without any issues. He usually sleeps later the next morning but it never messes up his nap/bedtime the following day.

Absolutely. YOLO.
