No, of course this would be somewhat different with children.

However, this is how I would also raise a child, letting them sleep as much and whenever they want.

When I was a child myself, my parents were in disagreement. My dad's opinion that I should be "broken in" so that I am better able to integrate into society. My mom thought more along the lines of what I describe.

Seeing that my dad had a societal job while my mom raised me, she largely won out.

I think I have her defense and sheltering of me to thank for being blessed with rarely having problems in this department.

With small kids, the problem is usually not you trying to force a schedule on the kid, but the kid forcing a schedule on you.

Yes, of course, their schedule takes priority.

We can't always sleep as much as we want to, even without kids. But I've certainly made it a high priority.
