Just that really, my ds is four and either wakes up of a morning at 7 or sometimes 6, he won't stay and cuddle in the bed with me and dp (which is fine btw) he wants to go downstairs straight away. He also won't go back into his room to play with his toys whilst we wake up a bit. This again no problem, he wants to get up and he wants me or dp all fine.
What's bugging me is dp keeps saying every time he comes in a bit too early "just take him down give him his breakfast and come back to bed, I was allowed to be downstairs on my own at that age". I am dead set against this, I do not feel four years is old enough to be left downstairs on your own whilst we get some more sleep. I understand we can do this when he is older (I did this when I was about six but I was also with my sister who was three years older, we knew how to make breakfast for ourselves etc).
When I say he's too young I think it's neglectful he just keeps repeating I was allowed at that age (he however had an older brother who was also three years older). I won't relent on this one, I just get up as you are expected to do when you're a parent, my son wants me and that's that.
However I was just curious to see what age you think is appropriate for a child to get up on their own of a morning?
