Quick Query re “School”

[MadameBee]

What are people doing with teens re them getting up?

We have DSDs here who are 13 and 15 and they and DH seem to be treating this like the school holidays, he’s lounging in bed till midday and they are all still in bed now (nearly 10am).

I am up at 8:30 everyday WFH.

Do I say anything (which is possibly cutting off my nose to spite my face as it’s so lovely and peaceful right now) or should I suggest that they should possibly be out of bed doing something slightly productive (like school work?).

Their attendance is poor anyway so not sure if not bothering to get out of bed during this is going to help this.

I'm waking mine at about 11.00. He's doing the small amount of school work he's being sent and he's been really good during this lockdown. I never have any bother getting him up early or back into school routine when need be, so I'm not going to battle over early mornings or late nights for the sake of it.

Mention to your partner, but it has to come from him. If he agrees that they need to be up, then he needs to fight that battle (and be up helping them with school).
If they are doing work at other times, definately don't mention it.

Yes, sorry, should have clarified - I'm not an SM.

Leave them to it. If he doesn’t care why should you. Enjoy the silence.

Hmm so they did an hour on Friday and are still in bed now

I did say to DH, you do know it’s not the school holidays? He helped DSD1 with her a Maths for an hour yday and thinks this is great as it’s a Sunday!

Is the older one GCSE year? If so he/she doesn’t really have any work to do. My two are still in bed, i’m out but not dressed. It seems to me you’re the only one bothered, maybe you should let them chill?

@noyoucannotcomein exactly the same here. DS is 15.

No she’s year 10 and attendance team involved anyway.

DH just lets his ex get on with it and doesn’t ever say anything.

I m downstairs phoning up families of vulnerable children to try to get them back into school feeling like an absolute hypocrite.
