[quote=Anonymous]I have mixed feelings about this. There are occasions when my 12 year old will sleep until 10:30 or 11 if he doesn't have sports. But I think back to myself at that age and I was definitely up and dressed by 10:00 AM after eating breakfast with the family. My parents usually had Saturday chores for us (examples depending on time of year: clean room, help fold laundry, weeding, help shovel snow, empty dishwasher, rake leaves, etc.) and then after a chore or two we had a lot of freedom to do what we wanted - play outside, go to a friend's house, library, etc. We could watch Sat morn cartoons, but after that the TV usually stayed off until evening, unless my dad was watching golf - lol. This was the norm among my friends. I feel like I am encouraging some laziness if I let him sleep too long. And then the first thing he wants to do when he gets up is electronics! [/quote]
