3rd grade.  Mom drove my school bus and if I wanted to ride the bus, I had to get up.  Otherwise, I had to walk the 1.5 miles to school.  She would wave as she drove by in the big yellow ride.  Nice.

phoenixazul - 2010-10-15 6:35 PM  his method was to flip on the lights and give me a "hey, let's go, rise and shine." And now, my husband does the same. bloody. thing. And while he's super cute and I love him to bits, the turning on of a light to get me up when I don't have to work or be somewhere makes me nooootttt a happy camper.


My brother would do this, and blare Twisted Sister at me.

I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to throw things at him (and I'm sure I did quite a few of those times.)

My kids go to bed at 8:30 and wake up at 6:30 like clockwork. 10 hrs is enough for anyone. When I was a kid my mom would open my door and go do her thing. That meant wake up and get ready, so I would. She was up before me everyday of my life even when I had to be at cross country at 5:30 in the morning. She didn't do anything for me, just sat and ate breakfast with me and my brother before we went to school. I don't know that my kids will ever be up before me either. I got work to hey ready for and breakfast to make for everyone. That takes more time than just getting ready for school.

Last night we let the kids stay up until about 8:30 because we were putting the finishing touches on some rockets for today's rocket rally in our backyard.   So, my wife tells them "No one gets up before 7 tomorrow morning."

7:01 this AM:   (footsteps down the stairs)
7:02:  the 4 year old: "Momma, guess what?  We were trying to make the clock change to the number we wanted, and I threw my snake (stuffed) at it and it changed!"

Normally they're all (6,4,1) up between 6AM and 6:30.   On occasion, I have to wake the 6 year old up at 6:20 when it's time to get ready for school.  But usually I go up there and find him reading in his bed waiting for me.

I did have another surprise this AM.  The 1 year old got up at about 5:50, but when I brought him downstairs he was real snuggly.  He's NEVER snuggly.   So we snuggled on the couch and he went back to sleep until 7:30, woot!
