I don't know how common this is, but does anyone else really and thoroughly identify with their kid selves? I remember being put down to nap when I was wide awake and thinking that was bullshit and I still think that was bullshit.

Being unwilling to inflict that on a kid is a big part of why I could never have one.

Kids can be very smart and very perceptive, while also being undisciplined and incapable of self reflection. There's a chance that you really did need that nap.

I didn't nap! I was right in thinking it was a pointless exercise of being wide awake in the dark!
