Apparently making her stop playing to get ready for bed (15 minutes past the normal time I might add) is worth loathing of the highest degree. Threenagers.

We reduced the complaining on bedtime and lots of other requests by using timers: "Here is a 5 min timer, when it rings, it's time to get ready for bed..."

Not a teenager yet but timers help so much it's unreal.
