My kids go up to their room at 6:30 every night so my husband and I can have some quality time

A mother has sparked debate after revealing she sends her four children to their rooms at 6.30pm every night so she can “spend quality time with her husband”.

Claire Ghana, from Sussex, took to TikTok to tell her 10,000 followers that her two youngest children, aged one and four, are asleep before 7pm, while her two eldest – aged nine and 12 years old – are both ordered to walk to their rooms for an hour at 6:30 p.m. to give her and her husband time to “catch up.”

“Nine times out of ten, they don’t even want to be here with us.

“Rules like these are the reason my marriage thrives,” she explained in the video.

Claire said “quality time” is key. However, critics hit back saying she should “never spend time with her children.”

“Just because people have children doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get married,” she explained.

Claire Ghana (pictured) from Sussex revealed her four children were in their rooms at 6.30pm so she and her husband could spend quality time together.

After revealing their children’s schedules, many parents slammed the mother, with one writing: “No kids after 6:30 p.m. Do you spend time with them?

Claire responded by saying that there are more than 24 hours in a single day, adding: “Do people think I look at my kids in closets and have no relationship with them?

“If I have the kids all day – say on a weekend – my husband is working, (then) yes, I will now say now is a quiet time for you to go to your room.”

She added: “They go up to their room for an hour and a bit. It’s not going to kill them all day.

“Every parent is different. Every family is different and this is what works for us.

Many were quick to slam the mother-of-four in the comments, with one writing: “6.30pm is tea time, not bedtime.”

’17 years with my husband, and it’s thriving. My children should not be sent to their rooms at 6:30 a.m. We all spend our evenings together,” chimed in a second.

A third added: “My marriage is thriving, my 10 and 12 year olds go to bed at 9, my 16 year old daughter whenever she wants.”

“You have your children young for a quarter of your life, make the most of it. »

Another asked: “When can your husband see them if he works?”

“Do people think I look at my kids in closets and have no relationship with them,” she said, responding to a negative comment.

Although some continued to criticize the mother of four, many came to her defense, joking that they did the same with their own children.

However, many others flocked to defend Claire, with some saying they admired her parenting.

“I admire you Claire,” one said: “You need house rules and time to yourself. You are a brilliant mother.

A second joked: “My son is in bed by 6.30pm and asleep by around a quarter to seven. I don’t see why they need to sleep there, its two and a half years old.

“My kids are growing up at seven, my brain needs time to heal from the day,” one parent added.

Another said: “My son goes to bed at 7pm on a school night, weekends weren’t really eventful until it was too late! They need rules! We need our time!!’
