Clocks going back.......

[????]

....remember when you used to love this. Now....up an hour before CBeebies kicks off :(

[snowboarder]

Ha! Yes it works the other way round these days - I love it when the clocks go forward now! We didn't do too badly, strangely. Predict tired pre nap melt down later, though...

thanks, had no idea! yuck, as if 6 o'clock starts weren't bad enough...

[nunheadmum]

Yes, it's strange how your perspective changes on so many things once you have kids!!!

Now it's a day of constantly thinking, it says X time but it's really X +1 to the kids, but got to start moving them to new time so nap / meals will be at.....arrgghhh, too complicated when sleep deprived. And then Halloween kids will start arriving just as you do dinner and bath (since it's now darker earlier), just to disrupt things further.

Now I understand why my parents seemed constantly grumpy!!!

Going to go cold turkey. GMT all the way. No adjustments!

[Pickle]

Yep, cold turkey in this house too. Kids were up at 6am and told to go and play quietly in another room as it was "still nighttime" (they're 2.5 and nearly 4, so thankfully we can do that these days!). I predict dinnertime meltdowns but hopefully they'll be on track tomorrow.

However it is one of those days where I really start to dislike my childless Facebook friends who will all be gloating about that extra hour when they finally drag themselves out of their pits...

My two STILL wake at 5am so this morning it was 4. Nothing short of hell!

[ratty]

Somehow it seems like I had an extra hour in bed this morning. God knows how!

[Gussy]

It's definitely going to take a few days maybe a week before baby Gussy adjusts to the new time. Also me as well. It felt really odd this morning.

[buggie]

Thought I'd cracked it Sunday morning - bubs slept thru the extra hour and I woke her at 330 GMT for her regular feed, but then this morning she woke at 2.15 and 6.15 instead of 3.30 and 7.00 - she wasn't bothered at all, but I was!!

[Helen GV]

We managed to get Mr 2 to stay n bed until 6.35 this morning, miracles do happen! His little sister didn't care though and was demanding to be fed an hour earlier.. Well at least my husband enjoyed the extra hour...

We had a bad night with Baby B on Friday night, and we all fell asleep at 6am in our bed on Saturday morning, after he'd been up since 2am! Slept till 9am, and then put him to bed an hour later (at 8pm) so he'd think it was 7pm. It worked, he woke up at the 'new' 7.15am!

Sorry if I sound smug, but to be fair we've only recently cracked his terrible sleep woes after 9 months of torture.

permission to feel smug granted, take the victories when you can i reckon!
