To not put my children to bed so they are so tired they sleep in tomorrow morning?

[nevergoogle]

YANBU but that never works with mine.

That's if it works that way.

Some kids are like regular little alarm clocks and will always wake up early no matter what time they went to bed...they just become more crabby as the day goes on

YANBU to try but I've given up trying this tactic as mine wake up at exactly the same time but are just grumpy...

It never works with mine. They wake up at the same time in the morning anyway and are seriously pissed off all day.

Ah, but you know they'll still wake up at the same time the next morning. Also they'll be really grumpy all day from being knackered!!

I would give my left little toe for a lie in!

Same as Sassy but good luck with it! Oh for a lie-in!:o

Now you KNOW that they will be up at 5am and will give you the day from hell because they are so knackard and then you will be sorry wont you.

Only saying becuase i have tried it.....doesnt work, not at all....i did warn you...

they are now in their room but there is much hilarity.

they WILL have a lie in.

stop with the negativity!

dd wakes at 7.30am every morning, regardless of what time she goes to bed.

would love it if that actually worked!

which nevergoogle are you? zombiejuice or dragonbutter? :)

It never works for me. dd will still be up too darn early! and tired and grumpy.

dont bet onit.....

you have been warned...

It works for me. DS has just gone down - he wont wake until 10am.

i'm watching you meright

fuck, it's gone quiet. i knew they'd drop eventually.

i'd love to prove you all wrong.

It always worked for mine

It never worked with mine.

Although as they get older it does get a lot better.

Late nights result in lie ins 3 days later for us!!

So start late nights on a Wednesday and you'll get a lie in on Saturday but 2 days of miserableness inbetween

Your choice

we'll be proven wrong when you tell us what time they get up in the morning

love that feeling though, friday night, dd in bed.

I end up going to bed early anyway because it's DH lie in tomorrow - i get the sunday

See, I on't get this! All I do is wake up tomorrow, then put the clocks forward, so 7.30am becomes 8.30am. And voila - I have had a lie in! Yay me.

Waking at 7.30 no matter what time they go to bed would be bloody lush!

Mine eldest has taken to waking at 6am lately - just had a big row with DS1 that he can't come in until 7am and if he does he doesn't get an ice-cream tomorrow. Fingers crossed the bribe works......not holding my breath though.

mrywmbys I have a sunday morning lie in too

Good plan toddlerwrangler but we're going out tomorrow night and if I move the clocks early then I'll get v confused if I'm meant to be there earlier or later than my watch says!!

this is my only chance for a lie-in tomorrow and if DH wakes me up on his way out there will be trouble.
