Not really a teenager problem. Becasue ds1 is not yet a teen as such, but ....But I am assuming you lot will have plenty of good ideas on what to do. Searched but not found a thread with the answers I need.
Dh and I never get any time together in the evenings. No time to sit and watch a tv programme, becasue ds1 goes to bed so late. We can't start watching 'broadchurch/game of thrones /whatever which has adult content, until he goes to bed. And within an hour, both of us are dropping off and off to bed ourselves.
ds2 is off to bed at 7pm.
So this is a period of adjustment, that other parents of teenagers etc must do.
How do we get around this? we can't send ds1 to bed any earlier. He is not tired. I don't want him on his tablet upstairs, where we can't see him. Plus he shares a bedroom with ds2, so thats no good.
We don't have a conservatory or anywhere to send ds1, besides he should be with us, right?
So what do other parents do?

No time to ourselves. Because children go to bed late.
