You're not wrong there. I was a leader for youth summer camps from 2007 to now. When I went to them myself as a kid and then until 2015 or so, there was this ongoing discussion when each age group had to go to bed. Then, something changed. Nowadays, when I stand up from the campfire to see the 11 to 14 year olds to bed at 23:00 for example, I'll get a weird look and get told that all of them had brushed their teeth, put sleeping clothes on and went to bed an hour ago all by themselves. On the one hand, that's really self-caring and responsible of them. On the other hand it's fucking self-caring and responsible go play in the mud already!
