This. I’ll never understand people like some of the prior posters who need to control the household’s wake up times just because.

Same sleep is good. Just let the kid be.

+1 I love quiet mornings with kids sleeping late. If we have plans to go somewhere, that’s one thing, but otherwise, who cares? My late-sleeping 15 year old woke up every two hours for the first year of her life and never napped for more than 30 minutes—I’m happy she finally learned to love good sleep.

Same. Mine are 15 and 13. That said, if we need to be somewhere they are of course expected to get up when asked, and they do.

In our house, we don’t ask, we tell.

DP. Just curious, are you and/or your spouse firstborn children?

Did my mom come back from the dead and post this?! I was never allowed to sleep past 9:00 A.M. as a teen either! Even on weekends or breaks, she'd always come into my room and wake me up and it irked me to no end. Additionally, if I was watching TV on the couch, I'd have to be sitting up and could not lie down, because in her words "I had already slept so much."

Teens in the midst of a growth spurt do. Teen boy goes through phases where he eats a ton and sleeps until noon during vacation and then seems to have grown over the course of a couple days because his isn’t a seem to be once again too short.

I wake my kids up if there is something we are doing as a family or if they have some event. But if there is nothing going on, I let them sleep.

Agree. But they don’t need to be gaming or FaceTiming until 3 or 4 am and then sleeping all morning. Especially not a 14 YO.

Be a parent OP.

I don't care how late my teens sleep as long as it's not because they are staying up on devices super late. We just ask that devices are off by 11. They are usually up by 11 or noon.

Why not?

I let my kids sleep in if they’re on break but for some reason I can’t let them go past 11:30. I will (nicely) say… um, it’s 11 or 11:30 and then they get up before noon.

That is common sense. So logical it escapes the control freaks who cant stand to see someone living their life their own way.

On breaks, I don’t care about my kids’ sleep schedules or how late they sleep unless we they need to be somewhere earlier in the AM. That said, I ask for reasonable level of quiet after 10PM especially on weeknights- DH and I often need to be up early.
