[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sleeping in...No never. I wake up before the kids during the week plus Saturday  to shower, dress, start breakfast, and make lunches for school.  Sunday I stay in bed until they wake up...usually around 6:30-7:30, then get up with them and make a big breakfast.

Weekends, DH is out of town a lot for work.  If he is home, he often is up early and goes into work or does stuff around the house in the early morning (empties dishwasher, will vacuum or steam floors if I didn’t get to it night before, makes coffee).  On occasion he will sleep in until 8-9, but it is rare and usually bc he was woken up a lot for work.  The kids are “my job” so I guess I don’t expect to sleep in ever.  And he is working hard too at other things, so I can’t complain.

Kids are supposed to want to sleep until noon when they are teenagers, right? [/quote]
Your answer is not really applicable because apparently no one sleeps in at your house.   But give it time, my kids are 8 and 10 and they don’t sleep in, but no one has to wake up with them anymore either.[/quote]

At 8 and 10 its not really an issue.  If you want to sleep in, leave them breakfast (I leave a bowl and cereal on the table with milk in an easy to pour container) and mine just play or ask for the iPad or video games.  They wake us when they need or want attention (though husband is usually up).[/quote]
