Time to Hook this up with the UserManager Bummer! Try again!

I'm unsure why I can't progress here...it says Bummer! Try Again!

Here is my code:

from django.contrib.auth.models import ( PermissionsMixin, BaseUserManager, AbstractBaseUser ) from django.db import models from django.utils import timezone

class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): email = models.EmailField(unique=True) dob = models.DateField() accepted_tos = models.BooleanField() is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False) joined_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)

objects = UserManager()

USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['dob']

class UserManager(BaseUserManager): def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None): if not accepted_tos: raise ValueError("Users must accept the terms of service")

    user = self.model(
        email=self.normalize_email(email),
        dob=dob,
        accepted_tos=True
    )
    user.set_password(password)
    user.save()
    return user

def create_superuser(self, email, dob, password):
    user = self.create_user(
        email,
        dob,
        accepted_tos=True,
        password=password
    )
    user.is_staff = True
    user.is_superuser = True
    user.save()
    return user
