I am a stay at home mom who also does daycare for a few friends of ours. The daycare kids come at 7:00, in which he is supposed to be up and ready to bring them to the bus stop. He and I have not slept together in years, he sleeps downstairs by the kids and I sleep upstairs (split level house). So, he falls asleep on the couch and if one of the kids comes out of their room they crawl into bed with him. So, when his alarm goes off in the AM, they wake up.

Now, only one of the kids goes to school, so it is pointless for the other two to be woken up. In fact, due to their lack of sleep they are literal monsters in the morning!

I have tried getting him up, and he won’t wake up no matter what I do.

Help! Oh, an added bonus: he gets mad at me if he gets up late, too.
This summer the kids got up at their leisure. My point of view is that kids need sleep BUT not an alarm to wake them up!
Ummmm….how in the world did it turn into a question of me getting more sleep? There is a very unfair judgement by one of the answerers to this question and that is that she is assuming that I am mad because he is waking me up. I’m already up, honey. I prepare breakfast for my daughter in the morning before she leaves. I am only upset because I feel as though my kids are not getting the benefits of sleeping in. That is part of the reason I stay at home with them!
