My niece lives now lives with me (10 years old) and doesn’t like me calling it “bedtime”… it’s “baby-ish”… but she doesn’t have an alternate suggestion. I’m open to ideas?

"Let's call it a night"

I asked ChatGPT but I don't like its suggestions:

It's great that you're open to finding a suitable alternative to calling it "bedtime" for your niece. Here are a few suggestions you can consider:

  1. "Restful Time": This term emphasizes the importance of getting enough rest while still sounding more mature than "bedtime."
  2. "Dream Hour": This phrase adds a touch of imagination and excitement to the idea of going to bed, making it a more appealing concept for your niece.
  3. "Sleepy Time": This option retains the focus on sleep but removes the "baby-ish" connotation, allowing your niece to associate it with relaxation and getting ready for a good night's sleep.
  4. "Night Routine": This phrase focuses on establishing a regular evening routine, which includes winding down and preparing for sleep.
  5. "Quiet Time": This term emphasizes the need for a calm and peaceful atmosphere before going to bed, which can be appealing to your niece. It would be helpful to involve your niece in the decision-making process by explaining why you're looking for an alternative term and asking her for any ideas she might have. By involving her in the discussion, you can find a term that both of you are comfortable with.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
