Getting ds to school on time/at all!!

[nameynameychangey]

name changer obviously..please help me feel a little less guilty...?

But Please be honest.

I'm feeling crap.

I overslept this morning, badly, and missed the start of school. Then I was paralysed with fear and guilt and didn't know what the heck to do. So at half ten i rang in and said he'd been very restless and awake all night and i had decided to keep him home today as he's so tired (he's five).

But the fact is, I had one glass of wine too many last night and didn't hear the alarm clock!

I am a crap mother I know . But does this happen sometimes to anyone else? How often? Once in a blue moon? twice a year? once a month? Never?? I haven't enjoyed the day with him as I know he should have been at school.

will put this in chat too i think

Mine not at school and wakes me every morning so I don't know (I was quite often late for work pre-dc for that kind of reason though!). Please god don't put this in AIBU!

Put it down to experience, get a second alarm clock and try and make sure it is a blue moon thing for you. He's bound to miss days when he is actually ill so you don't want to be adding to it.

I would have sent him in at 10.30 so he didn't miss too much. Can't think of a good excuse though, maybe he was upset over dead pet but had perked up??

Don't beat yourself up over it, that serves no purpose. Just try and learn from it.

I think put down to experience and make sure doesn't happen again.

Did your son not come in and wake you up?! I have overslept before and normally my dd will trot in about 8am ish and start moaning that I need to get up, she needs a wee, she is hungry - you get my point

Do you normally drink much in the week? Maybe just save the for friday and saturday nights. The fact you feel guilty is a good thing, be much more worrying of you didn't care!!

it happen to me. If it happenes again do not blame it (so to speak) on the child. I said dc did not sleep well was a bit sick and was told to keep him home .... the second time we were late I just said totalyy my fault I was unwel and did not here the bell... much better than risking making dc loose a day at school
