This has always made me face palm so much. They have always let her nap during the day, especially when she comes home from school. And then they act like they have no idea why she doesn't sleep well at night!! "Her brain just won't shut off. She can't sleep." Yes, that's one of the reasons, but napping is also a major one.
It's just common sense - if she sleeps for like 2-3 hrs after school, she won't feel like going to bed at 9:00pm or whatever time they put her to bed. Also, as I said in a previous post, I think sometimes Asshat stays awake most of the night and then finally goes to bed close to when Abbie has to be up and getting ready to go to school. So he blames it on Abbie's sleeping habits and says they have to stay home because of her. He uses this excuse because part of the time, it's actually true. Pretty convenient for him.
