Who thought of this one? Obviously no one with young kids. Seriously, is the precise timing of the calculated bedtime ritual not delicate enough without throwing the whole routine off by an hour? I work hard for my children’s bedtimes, and I don’t care whether the Daylight Saving conspiracy is taking or throwing an hour in my favor, I don’t like it. Sure, the global concept of saving on electricity by fooling with our clocks is cute, except when you hold the nocturnal fate of a two-year old in your hands. I say regress, and regress hard, to a time when Daylight Savings Time was nothing more than the delusional ideation of some open-minded pioneer. Let 7 o’clock be 7 o’clock and my children’s bedtime, whatever day, date or era we are in. Rock on hardcore consistency and lack of change.
