Don't understand, so can't pass judgement!

SmileandWave · 19/10/2008 22:00

Don't understand either?

ladymariner · 19/10/2008 22:00
Hmm
SmileandWave · 19/10/2008 22:00

Can you expand so we can judge you properly?

Twelvelegs · 19/10/2008 22:00

DH kept children up and you have to deal with the fallout?

ScareyBitchFeast · 19/10/2008 22:02

Why don't you just say 'time for bed now' and send them up?

I hate these threads where you have to fill in the gaps yourself.

thisisyesterday · 19/10/2008 22:04

yes you are.
because you also have a say in how late they stay up.
why not implement a rule which means homework is done earlier, so that they get to bed on time?

Twelvelegs · 19/10/2008 22:04

Just make sure he gets all their clothes ready and lunchboxes packed!! YABU!!
Christ it's 10 o'clock...... stop the homework and remind him to start it next weekend a little earlier than Sunday night.

ScareyBitchFeast · 19/10/2008 22:04

sigh,
it isgoing to be such fun in the morning - not

I do it. Get DD1 up and dressed and walk her to school. Pop DD2 in bed with DP before I go, walk back get the car and off to work.

Or if working nights, get DD1 up and to school, then back to bed.

Tis late, there will likely be suffering somewhere, you're right.

ScottishMummy · 19/10/2008 22:06

now c'mon AIBU you need to give us details to be ruminated over,comments to be misconstrued

and if all else fails some raver will correct your spelling

chopski chop

ladymariner · 19/10/2008 22:06

Why not do their homework on friday night??

And yes, there is more than a touch of poacher turned gamekeeper about my comment!!!

ScareyBitchFeast · 19/10/2008 22:06

small voice,
wishes she hadnt bothered to rant
sigh

But why are they doing homework at 10.00 on a Sunday night?

My domestic organization would make Sweeny Todd look good, but my dcs have finished their homework by 6.00 on Sundays!

ScottishMummy · 19/10/2008 22:08

oh behave,don't start AIBU and not expect summat to be said

ScareyBitchFeast · 19/10/2008 22:10
