Not to wake my lazy DSs

[Sparklingbrook]

10 and 12. They are still fast asleep and it's 10.30am. They should be up and doing something constructive shouldn't they?

My 3 are still asleep and I would be too but I need to go food shopping as having friends round for dinner tonight

mine were up at 6.30

Never wake them just revel in the silence!

sleeping IS constructive! bless, leave 'em to it! (wish I could still sleep in, been awake since 5am...)

Yes don't children grow in their sleep or something boschy? They used to get up about 6am in the holidays and ask what we were doing.

Let them sleeeeeeeeeep

Yes let them sleep. They don't always have to be doing something constructive - after all we don't. More MNetting anyone?

I am not showered or dressed. Oh hang, on DS1 has appeared! It speaks!

In a few hours you may wish they were still asleep!

Oh yes lesley when the bickering starts.

Mine sleep because they play the Xbox until the early hours in the hols....

That's awful Dee. We had a nice day even with the late start but I don't think they will be in a hurry to get to bed tonight.

sparkling wait a few years they will be sleeping till lunch time in the holidays , dd2 14 got up today at 10 30 i asked if she was ok

My dD slept til 12.15pm yesterday!!!!

That's what teenagers do, if they sleep, they need it

It makes for a very short day Mrsjay.

yip although dd1 has been working overtime this week so she was up and out the door for 6.45 i just grunted and went back to sleep ,

Yep my ds3 (14) woke up at 1.15pm...but I did hear him talking on Xbox at 6.15am so he'd obv done an all nighter......

I measured my DS (14) yesterday. He has grown over a cm in a month. He has sore knees! He also slept 11 hours last night.

I think he needs the sleep.

I often stayed in bed til midday in the holidays by the time I was 10! The appeal of the lie-in trumped Saturday morning telly early in my house. My brother, then aged 12, once stayed in bed until 8 p.m. . I think 4 p.m. in my mid-teens was my limit! I would never sleep past lunch time, but I would like there for hours, desperate for the loo, thirsty and starving, before I'd actually do anything about it...

Let them sleep in. They need it. They will need it even more as they become teenagers. I used to let my stepsons sleep in when they stayed with us in the hols. This was from when they were 11 and 13 onwards. Mind you, the thought of me going into their rooms and waking them is slightly wrong! They are now 19 and 21 and much better at getting up. I am all for having cruisy holidays. You don't need to do anything constructive if you don't want to.

DS is one.

I am sooooo looking forward to the days when he sleeps so much that it'll be difficult to get him out of bed. I regularly fantasize about the sleep I shall one day be getting.

I never slept in as a child, always up and bounding around the place very early... God, you have to feel for my parents don't you

I'd let them sleep as long as they could - less time for arguing :) However, they'd be going to bed at a reasonable hour too - can't be done with kids up at all hours!!

Makes me wonder how they get up at 7am for school really.

DD has been dancing the whole first week of her holidays. I'm not expecting to see her before mid-day tomorrow .
