For context my youngest is 11.
Up every morning at 6.30am and just want a lie in on weekends, but any disruption and I'm wide awake and cannot get back to sleep. Just can't.
Every weekend my 11 or 14 year old wake up go toilet, watch TV but they always come in my room just to say hi after they go toilet 😂 I know it's cute but then I'm wide awake whilst they either go back to sleep or downstairs.
WIBU to ask them to please not come in unless it's important. They literally just come in to say good morning at 7/8am then I don't see them again till 11am when they come out of their room.
Even a sleep till 9am would be nice!
But I feel bad. Especially with DS as he just comes into give me a kiss or say hello.
AIBU?
To ban my kids from coming in my room before 10am on the weekends?

I would say don't ask them. It won't be for much longer and I think their closeness to you will stand you in good stead for future challenges.

We were in the same situation - what we did was set out a breakfast bar of nice breakfast things to eat and drink and they would go and have their hotel style breakfast and watch a dvd before waking us up.
Now they are a bit older they make us coffee when they come through at 11!

This.
I miss my DS running in for a cuddle so much. I know it’s a pain at the time but you really will miss it when it stops.

I'm impressed your 14 year old is out of their bed before lunch time.

Have you tried 50/50 zoflora and lemon juice? Worked for me
