Getting children to bed toughest part of the day poll finds

Getting children to go to bed at the end of the day is the most stressful activity of all, according to a poll by www.blinds2go.co.uk.

More than 2000 UK parents took part in the survey, which aimed to find which family activity caused the most grief.

In top place came trying to get their children to go to bed at bedtime, which according to 33 per cent of parents was the worst part of the day.

Most parents just let their children stay up later, with just 9 per cent insisting on a strict bedtime.

In second place came attempting to go shopping, which was anxiety inducing for 28 per cent.

Finally, eating out tested the patience of 18 per cent.
