Have you ever allowed a DC to miss a bus because they are lazy / don't get themselves us

[MsKeats]

One of my DC is a sleeper. Every morning I wake them up at least twice and there is a fair bit of shouting. Once up -fine. They have an alarm clock but sleep through it -it drives me insane. So I have to pull the duvet off and put them lights on etc

Mean Mum that I am -I'm seriously considering going without them one morning. (Old enough to be left home) and knowing them as I do -they will be crapping themselves and totally unable to get to school as the school is well over an hour by bus and the bus stop is a 45 minute car drive away-I would phone the school and explain that after 3 years of screaming at them every morning I'm taking a stand. They wouldn't wake up at all if I did this and would sleep through us getting up and going. Monday morning is a good possibility.

At the moment, I'm just thinking about it, as a short sharp shock -to pull their finger out. Else aged 20 I'm still going to be waking them up. I haven't decided I will.

Has anyone ever done it? Did it work?

Ridiculous you letting a child choose a school so far away. I would dread that commute, do they have a social life? When do they do homework?

Your other thread says all your children go to schools that are far away from your home and that your children find it hard to find friends. You also say it’s home at 6pm, then homework, then bed, rinse / repeat. Doesn’t sound much fun for a young teen.
