Please help, I am soo angry right now.
My DS is 13. He started back at school a couple of weeks ago, and all has been fine except he insists on only getting out of his bed 5 mins before the bus arrives outside the door. He is supposed to leave at 7:30am, which is just as I have to get up for work. Every mornin I hear his bedroom door opening, then he is straight out the front door. No wash, no teethbrushing, no breakfast...nothing.
I have had words with him about this before, including last term when I confronted him as he was about to rush out the door. I frogmarched him to the bathroom, told him to get washed & he wasnt going anywhere until he had done so. He missed his bus, & had to walk. It obviously didnt do anything for him though, as he still continues.
I have already told him about the importance of hygiene, smartness of appearance etc, but he is happy to laze about & get more zzz's. His bedtime is 9pm, lights off at 10, but I am seriously thinking of making it earlier...or second option - set my own alarm for 6:30am & go get him up everyday??
