[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He goes to bed at 4::30-5 and wakes up around 12 or 1!! [/quote]

Sounds like my middle schooler...[/quote]

Middle school? Omg I can not stay up all night long taking care of a middle schooler. Is it like the baby years all over again ?  We still have the same 7:30 bedtime  no matter what. I need my sleep.[/quote]

Why would you need to stay up to care for your middle schooler? And 7:30??? Wow. My 10yo DD was up until 3AM last night, woke up at 1PM. I was asleep at 130AM and up by 845. While this is not a daily occurrence (we were up having a movie marathon), but I trust her to stay alive while I'm asleep under the same roof.[/quote]

He can’t do anything on his own. Won’t even get his own water or food. I would be woken up every few minutes. Even now with him home I can’t do laundry without him coming with me downstairs. I don’t trust him . No special needs either. Just can’t function alone.[/quote]

WONT get water or food is different from CANT. You’re completely enabling your child if he’s refusing to do this and in middle school! Does he not have chores? My 4th grader makes his own breakfast, packs his own lunch, does laundry, walks the dog, puts away the clean dishes, puts his own dirty dishes in the dishwasher—and has been capable of a lot of that for years and years.

Being quarantined would be a fantastic time for you to teach your son these things—do it slowly, but be consistent about each step. I bet both of you will be a lot happier in the long run. Even if he puts up a fuss at first. [/quote]
