My 12yr old DSS knocks on our bedroom door every morning without fail to wake us up.
It doesn't matter what the time is but usually between 7am - 9am he will continually knock the door until one of us answers. When we do answer he will come in and give us a hug etc. I understand this is really lovely but I was just wondering if this is normal for a 12 year old boy to do? I remember myself at that age and I wouldn't dream of waking my parents before they were ready. His younger sister doesn't do it. She just gets up and potters about until she can hear either one of us. We are usually up by 9am anyway.
I work really hard and sometimes just really want a lie in but every weekend is the same with him waking us up for a hug etc.
Is this what 12 year olds do and I'm just tired and grumpy, or would I not be unreasonable to tell him to stop and we will let him know when we are awake and then he can come in? His Dad doesn't hear his knocking as he is a deep sleeper so it doesn't bother him 😩
