How do people seriously manage? We have a small house and now they stay up late we struggle to have time for ourselves and end up falling asleep waiting for them to sleep. I'm not that bothered lol but dh is!

I know the feeling and my "teenager" is 37! Maybe it's time they stayed with relatives for a couple of weeks so you can have some 'just us" time?

Quietly.

It's bloody difficult.

My teens and adult son go to bed so late and my youngest is a crap sleeper. As much as we try to keep quiet the bloody bed is very noisy. I don't think it is awful for them to hear as such, but it is a bit of a passion killer.

Day time when it might be possible you can guarantee that at least two of mine will be at home as well.

It's called Sunday morning. As teenagers I will presume that yours are like the many others who don't get up before midday on a Sunday or Saturday. Good luck x

A bolt on the bedroom door in our case

We have two teens and two primary aged children and DH works away. Chances are few and far between.

blimey 37! I hadn't even thought that it's quite possible they will be at home til then!

We're not even loud but it's off putting hearing them prattling on outside our room.

We have a weird teen that as well as going to bed late still gets up before 7 so mornings are a no go. This will change I'm sure as he's just hit 13. His 14 year old sister stays in bed half the day if given the option.

We go for early mornings, nothing can get a teenager awake then

DD has a part time job so we take advantage when she is working.

IHaveBrilloHair · 30/06/2019 22:13

The only one getting any in this house is the teen!
As soon as she shuts her bedroom door I turn up the TV.

mrsglowglow · 30/06/2019 22:38

ha ha yes teens don't seem to notice (or give a crap) that there may be other people about!
