This is just a cultural difference. Americans (and the Anglosphere) tend to be more home-centric, but the Spaniards are on the other extreme. Spain is weird, with 4-yos going to bed at 2 AM on a schoolnight bc parents want to chat and drink. Many Latin Americans are similar, but not as extreme. My wife remembers staying up virtually all night, unsupervised, while her parents drank and socialized. That was normal.
In the U.S., parents are like militants, putting their kids to bed at 8 PM and sacrificing everything till they leave the nest. Typically only childless or college-age people would consider clubbing or late nights.
