Since this is my firts posting ever, I was trying to think of something to say. So as I am sitting here at 8am it occurs to me that my children woke me up a 5 after 6 this morning. I was wondering why is it during the week, I have to fight to get my kids out of be and ready for school. On the weekends they are both up at 5 or 6 in the morning. Now my daughter is one that wakes up at the same time every day, and I am grateful, but it doesn't matter what time she goes to bed. My son, on the other hand, it takes a bomb to get him out of bed during the school week. Seriously! It starts at 6am... Anthony, it is time to get up (said sweetly), 6:05... Anthony (annoyed) its time to get up, 6:10am...Anthony, get up!, 6:15...(change tactics) Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!!, 6:20...Anthony GET UP!!, 6:25am...If you don't get up, you are going to bed a half hour earlier!!, 6:30...Get up now, or I am getting the ice water!, 6:35...Now that you are up, get dressed!
Am I the only one? All during this time of trying to get his butt out of bed, my daughter is up, gone to the bathroom, gotten dressed and is now eating breakfast. He is grumbling and surly. Now, don't tell me he is staying up too late. The latest he goes to bed is 8pm, she goes to bed at 7:30. And of course every night is a struggle. He wants to stay up later, "but mom, I am 11years old, why can't I stay up??" and my reply "Because you don't get up in the morning!" He does not understand that I have to get up at 5am to get my shower and get dressed so I have time to fight with him to get him out of bed. But lo and behold, come Saturday morning, that little butthead is up at 5:30 in the morning!!
Does anyone else have children that wake differently on the weekends than weekdays, or is my child doing this to me to drive me crazy?! LOL I love being a Mommy.
