So I decided to spend the weekend at my uncle's place because it has been many years I went there.


In the midnight, around 1am, I heard the television was on and I thought he forget to put it off.


So I went to the living room only to see his son of about 4-5 years old watching cartoon. I was shocked and asked him to go and sleep, which he grudgingly agreed.


Now, early morning around 5am or so, same thing happened. I want to the living room and saw him there.


This time he refused to go to bed.


I later found out that's how he does. I wonder if he ever sleeps at night.

The parents are not even bothered, but I'm worried. When we were growing up, who are you to stay awake past 9pm watching TV? Not to talk about waking up at night. Even in the day time you better not be caught idling away on front of the TV when others are busy.

This one just comes to the living room anytime he likes and puts on the TV.

Is this how kids of nowadays behave?

This your title is fear-inducing, as if the child is in some kinda danger.

As for the child's TV-watching, it's up to his parents to parent him. If they want to spoil him and let him do what he wants at 5-years old, that's their prerogative. They're the ones who will suffer the consequences lateron when they can no longer control him.

OP, have you ever heard of the concept of "genetic insomnia"?

It is an inherited case of sleeplessness. I was born with it. Try as much as I could, it's a trait I was never able to get rid of to this day. I practically function optimally with just 1hour of sleep out of 24hours. It used to be quite better when I was a child. I could sleep for about 4hours before the sleep fades and I have to toss in bed until the day breaks. When I got of age and could afford the bills, I sought medical help. There was literally nothing that was prescribed that worked. Overtime, I simply gave up on trying to cure something that was clearly not an ailment. Now, if I have to sleep for more than an hour, I have to resort to eating a bit of weed and that helps to give me about 3 or 4hours of sleep at the very most.

Now the very fact the parents of that child let him stay up with the television might not be a case of an addiction to the screen, but simply an inability for him to sleep. And those parents already recognise that. So don't paint a sordid or deformed picture of another's child. When your own born, if e no gree sleep, you fit use bicycle kick send am go bed.

Whenever I hear the statement "children of nowadays" it usually pisses me off. The correct statement must always be "parents of nowadays". There is nothing worst than failed parenting!

You dare not stay outside the house when it’s past 6, better go look for where you go sleep that night, that was how I was trained

And once my dad don watch news of 9 on air then with our box black and white tv, na make everyon disperse go their rooms go sleep, sometime my older siblings stay up later into the night to watch movies, but my dad always take me away from them that if my brothers no even pursue me go sleep be that oo

Parents of these days are too lazy and non chalants towards their children/ward

Like in this boy’s case, don’t the parents wake at night to check on it or take him to pee?

As for just leave the boy, the era of everyone discipline a child is over, if you try harder to correct him or stop him youat have issues with the parents and the boy may antagonize you
