Bed Time for 10 Year Old

I am the mother of 3 healthy, active children. Recently, my husband and I have been in disagreement about what time my oldest (10 years old) should be allowed to stay up at night.

We Can't Afford Dance Lessons

When my husband and I decided that I would stay home and homeschool our daughter, it was absolutely the right choice. That meant a pay cut, as now I can only work part-time. We make ends meet, we don't live extravagantly but we do get to go see movies and have some family fun. My daughter is naturally talented at dance, gymnastics and cheerleading. Now, she's been able to participate in competitive gymnastics and cheerleading because I work there and she gets free lessons. I've managed to afford her leotards by getting them second-hand...
