sillywoman Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just wanted to share with those of you currently suffering the hell of the 5.30am wake-up call. It's now 7.45am and none of my children are awake yet! Nowadays this is not that unusual. This will be you too, you will sleep in again. Take heart and be patient, it will come. I aught to add that I have actually done my time in the "it's still dark(ish), it's not morning" years. So this post is intended to give you hope for the future not mocking your present predicament. All sympathy to you. SW Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16827-sleep-you-will-lie-in-again/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

KateW Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks Sillywoman that does give me hope, providing you aren't about to tell us that you're children are teenagers! :o) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16827-sleep-you-will-lie-in-again/#findComment-428771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillywoman Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Umm, yes KateW, the older ones are, but the youngest is 7 and has been regularly sleeping in until 8am (when allowed) from about the age of 5. So take heart. :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16827-sleep-you-will-lie-in-again/#findComment-428778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonethebeaver Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Also, they do get to the point when you can leave a pile of cereal boxes and bowls out, and tell them to keep quiet and watch the TV! That way, the time they get up is immaterial to you.

chantelle Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 my 2.5 year old has to be roused at 9:15. I don't know how he's going to cope with nursery education/school!

Ruth_Baldock Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Also, to those of you with two children- when my sister was born, I was 6. By the time she was 6mo, she'd wake at 8am, and I'd take her into my bed and play with her/entertain her . Mum had no idea (deep sleeper) and thought she naturally slept till 9:45am (on weekends) and THEN I'd take her out of her cot.I cannot wait for my children (both cheeky and in utero) to LET ME SLEEO.

Dorothy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Its lovely this lying in business, isn't it? 8.15am for me today and that was only because husband was off to work and wanted to say goodbye :-SBut then, but then ... something deeply odd and masochistic in me has a hankering for those 6am starts.. You had an excuse to go to bed at 10pm, plus dawn is very lovely. Even in Lunnun.
