Before 6am this morning...she had decided to go and wake my 9yo ds up. He shares a room with a 5 and 3yo.
She has been told off for this many, many times before. She seemed to have stopped it and everyone was getting proper sleep.

But this morning, i was woke up to banging off the younguns running around the landing. Screamig and giggling. While dd and ds were playing CARDS!...In the dark!!!!

They left the baby gate open! The littleuns running around the landing in the dark! Its laminate at the bottom of the stairs, but under that its concrete!

Aibu to be a big pissed off with this?
They have all been told several times that until MY alarm clock goes off - it is NOT wake up time. My dd especially knows this as i have been here with her many times!

So now they are all going to school tired, and i have my yougest off nursery poorly, so no doubt he is going to feel worse today due to extra added tiredness!

I agree. But what can i do when she wakes up early no matter what time i put her to bed.

i put the two younger ones to bed at the same time between 6:30-7 and then the older two between 9-9:30. They dont flinch when 9yo ds climbs into the top bunk.

My kids sleep well. So doors being open dont make a difference (for the person who mentioned).
In fact, i think if i did shut the doors, they wouldnt sleep.
