(Dont be smart and say put her to bed earlier ).
Every morning is a rush because dd refuses to get up. She goes to bed at 8pm but often wont sleep straight away no matter how hard I try. Its about 60% of the time. The rest of the time, she goes off ok but its always the same every morning (bar one when she knew nan was looking after her for the day). I tried putting her to bed at 7pm for a while which made no difference whatsoever.
Every morning I get to work in a foul mood, my ears ringing from dd's screaming tantrums and our lift grumbling (quite rightly) that im making her late for work too, and my face burning from ds's deputy head glaring at me for bringing him into reception because the other doors have been locked. (He's rarely more that a minute late and the kids are still going in but that's not the point, I know its unacceptable). Im getting it from all directions.
Dd's general behaviour at the moment is just not on. She's always been difficult but is having another one of her naughty phases. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
