PUT TO BED EARLIER THAN YOUNGER SIBLINGS

I'm near 20 and have (much) earlier bedtimes than my two younger half-sisters (13 and 11). My mother prefers the girls and likes to stay in peace and chat with them in the evening. That's why she send me to bed at 6 pm on weekdays, at 8 pm on saturday because my sisters usually dine (and sometimes also sleep) by friends, and at 4 pm (or earlier) on Sunday afternoon. I've the same bedtimes during holydays. My younger sisters not only have to go to bed later than me, but the most often that's they who make me ready for bed. They sometimes babysit me. I'm also put to bed daytime as a punishment, because mom or sisters have guests, because mom goes out, or even because of bad weather which forces us to stay indoor. I'm curious to know if other big boys or girls are in the same situation.

Like me, you're sometimes put to bed daytime and/or earlier than usually
as a punishment
because your siblings want that
because your parent(s) want to stay in peace at the moment
because parents guests come
because siblings guests come
because your parent(s) go out
for another reason
Have your younger siblings sometimes to go to bed earlier than usually?
No, never
Sometimes as a punishment
Sometimes for any reason
Your younger sibling(s)

How do you feel to have to be in bed and sleep earlier than your younger siblings?
shameful

it doesn't matter
disgusted but powerless
I fall easily asleep
I cry every evening before to fall asleep
I don't dare to moan because I'm afraid to be bed punished
When one of your younger siblings has to stay in bed because of illness, have you also to be in bed by sympathy?
No
Sometimes earlier bedtime
Off course, everytime all day in bed
Are you put to bed as a punishment because your younger siblings accuse you unfairly?
No, I'm only punished when I deserve its.
Sometimes, when they are angry

Alas! I've to spend most of the weekends and holydays all day in bed and in the darkness because of them
What do your classmates know about your bedtime?
Nothing until yet
They know, because my siblings tell them
They know because they saw me in pyjama early and ready for bed before, while my siblings were still dressed and playing outdoor.

Since I've to be in bed at 6:00 pm, I've also to be ready for bed (in nightie) for dinner in front of my still fully dressed younger siblings (and sometimes also some of their mates). And you?
Yes, and that's my younger siblings who make me ready for bed before dinner
No, my younger siblings make me ready for bed only after dinner
No, because my siblings spoon-fed me while I'm already in bed
Only when my younger siblings babysit me
Off course, since I've to undress and put my nightie/pyjama on as soon as I'm back home after school/office
Other, specify, please
