My 17yo son still will be up early. He negotiated with his 22 yo sister to let her sleep till 8:30 AM.
I’m just feeling very lucky to have them both home this Christmas. We have a back to back on the dream in January and I’m so excited to spend nine nights at sea with them.
DGS is up................4:45.....and he had woken up every 2 hours over the night. His poor mom, she was sharing a bed with him and had to keep telling him it wasn't time yet.
wish I was still sleeping in like the rest of my family...ahhh menopause. Mine def changed also when they became teens... sleeping in was much more the norm.... when they were both little I remember being done with presents by 5am for most years
Yeah, long gone are the days when we are woken up pre-dawn. DD18 is practically nocturnal after her first semester of college. We all slept in because some nasty storms kept us awake much later than expected.
Our kids span 13-19 years old. We still get woken up around 4am. One year they let us sleep in until 5:30! But they do start the coffee maker to make sure we have coffee during presents. By 5am gifts were unwrapped and DH and I went back to sleep until 7:30!
HAHA, good point! However, I had to be at work for 5:30am this morning--ER nurse :-(
I do remember that transition a few years ago, it was sad and happy at the same time. I was very happy to ditch moving that damn elf though!
