IF MN can solve this one I won't have to kill him......DS1 is still waking me up in the morning...

[LadyTophamHatt]

And he'll be 8 next month.

Honest to god I could have killing him this morning.

"Mum, I'm really tired...What can I do?? I don't want to get dressed yet"

This was at about 6am.

I told him I don't care what he's does just DON'T WAKE ME UP.

He then came back in 10 minutes later to ask if he can let the dog out because she needs a wee and what milk should he use because we've run out of full fat.

I said " FFS (yes i really did say that too) let her out then and use the milk we have got"

I've tried verything to stop him waking me up... bribes, promises, punishment, threats of death and it will work for a few days then he'll start again.

IT IS DRIVING ME MAD, he's almost 8 FGS, 3 yr old DS3doesn't do it so what does DS1.

If anyone can solve this I will pay you several zillion pounds....

I'll do that when he goes to bed Dotty, he'll claim he's forgotten if I do it now.

I'll tell him to go straight downstairs and put the te;ly o instead of getting dressed...not sure what punishment to use because quite honestly noth9ing works!!

He didn't comein this morning.

But

Stood outside the door arguing with Ds2...

I told him they might as well have come in a sat on the bed to argue.

Little sods.

I think they just grow out of it. My eldest did this until she was about 8 - and then I had another baby

haven had a chance to read through all threads but when our dd did this form about 5 years old we told her that if she woke before 7:30am she could have special play with whatever she wanted in her room as long as it wasn't noisy, messy etc. When it got to the time (we had a wooden clock in her room set at the correct time so she could compare clocks) she could come for a cuddle in our bed. She began to see this as a treat and stil does it now age 9. hth
