When the sun goes down at 4 pm… that's when you truly lock in as a parent. You're exhausted from work and you're ready to go to bed, but you somehow have to both help the kids with their homework make them dinner and get them ready for bed. All while feeling like it's already past your bedtime. Daylight savings is a cruel mistress. It offers us a precious extra hour of sleep, and then it makes our lives miserable for a few more months.
