WIBU to wake them up

67 replies

I have four thirteen year olds asleep on air beds in the lounge. They were in bed whispering in the dark at 11pm. I went to bed then so I don't know when they actually went to sleep. They're all sensible well behaved kids. If it was just mine I'd have woken her by now.

You need to stop waking your 13yo at the weekend. Not start waking up extra ones

Mine is autistic and if we lose the routine she'll be hysterical come bedtime. But she doesn't socialise much so friends for a sleepover is a big deal and I want her to make the most of it so was thinking we'd just risk the hysteria on this occasion.

Ruining their routines -at 13?!

Don't wake them, it's still early for the weekend!! If it was one o clock or something then yes but it's barely half nine!

I was worried parents might hate me for ruining their routine

At 13?? Surely 13 yos don't have a routine

Pinkpinkpink15 · 07/04/2024 09:29

You do mean 13 years not months???

you really don't need to worry about their 'routine'

let your own child sleep at the weekends/holidays. They need to catch up on their sleep in their own way.

I wouldn’t wake them, but I would carry on with my day as usual and if that wakes them it wakes them.

Wake them up with bacon sandwiches and a cuppa

Scarlettpixie · 07/04/2024 09:27

Leave them be!

Ohnodontwantthiscrush · 07/04/2024 09:27

Sounds like fun! I'd let them sleep...

Why do you need to wake them up?

Agreed. If there's no reason to actually wake them e.g parents collecting at 10 then leave them be.

namechange1986 · 07/04/2024 09:26

Why would you wake them? I don't understand waking a 13 year old before 9.30 at the weekend...

Is there a reason you don't want your child sleeping usually?

Willmafrockfit · 07/04/2024 09:26

are they being picked up? and when if so?
