Bedtime blues

One of the greatest challenges in our life right now is putting the kids to bed. We start around nine and usually the kids aren't asleep til eleven or later. And they aren't just playing or laying there. Currently London is crying and has been off and on for twenty minutes. Sawyer wants the night light, London doesnt. They always seem to find something to fight about. We are and have been for some time at the end of our rope. Not only is it physically draining and emotionally but it takes away our nights. By the time the kids are asleep. We are too angry and tired too do anything. It really is affecting the Spirit of our home and our relationships with each other. I am so angry at the kids for making it so difficult and that anger transfers to Joel and it just gets ugly. It's hard to remember that it's not their fault and they arent accountable yet. I am the adult here right? I set the rules. I control the situation. What are we doing wrong?
