Ds 13 always late to bed. Consequently tired and grumpy with siblings.
A week ago he was told to go to bed. Ten mins later he's playing his guitar. Reminded to go to bed. Lots of movement in his room, I thought hes getting ready for bed. Nope the guitar comes out again. Told it is now time for bed.....faff faff etc then finally in bed midnight. I'm sick of the grumpyness.
Last night I went up to say goodnight at 10 he said I'm just doing my homework! I hadn't known about it, was to be in for today. Tbf he's usually early with his honework. Anyway he was up till after midnight doing it and I was in bed before him.
Two night ago was similar and then he couldn't get up in the morning missed the school bus.
Tonight he was winding up his little brother who then retaliated. Ds1 pushed ds2's head away. Both started arguing at the dinner table and wpuld not stop despite being told to. Then ds laughed at me and mocked me when I told him off.
I've changed the Wi-Fi password and he's really angry. Said he's just going to stay up to 1am reading "just to annoy me."
Help me please.
