Sleep

Late nights but still early mornings............

I'm sorry I'm on here moaning again. It's all I ever do when I'm tired. But my dh is in bed and even if he was here he'd be knackered as well so I've no-one to moan to except anyone out there who's listening! My 2 ds's are light, poor sleepers and they always get up early between 5.30 and 6.30. They are aged 4 and 7. With the nights being so light I have lots of the neighbourhood kids playing in a garden just across from us, up till 9 at night. My 2 always want to stay up and as last night wasn't a school night I let them stay up till 8.30 and after bath etc. they didn't go to bed till nearly 9. And trust me that's a big treat in this house! BUT it always backfires on me when I let they play for later instead of getting them in for 6.30 as they still wake at the same bloody time. And now they'll be as crabby as sin all day(they've already started) and I 'm pissed off I let them stay up and also the fact that they get up so early regardless of when they went to bed. I know it's a habit/natural waking time etc etc but I'm just sick of tired kids and parents. To make it worse I always wake at 5.30 as I'm waiting for them,so I'm noy getting enough sleep either.
Sorry just needing a moan.

Is there anyone put there for company?

We are here, promise. Can't really offer any help - only have a 9 week old - just wanted to let you know someone was around and thinking of you and offering sympathy.
