[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter likes to be woken up a certain way - I know she could wake herself up and we'd have the same drama as you - but instead, I go in, 15 minutes early, turn on her lights. After 15 minutes, I go in and chat to her - what are you going to wear today? It's a short day today, do you have any plans after school? Do you want me to put a waffle in the toaster ... etc. When she's answering, I leave and she gets up. You could also try putting on loud music - that was my mom's way. It wasn't awful except it was the 80's. [/quote] It’s nice you have time to do this, most people don’t. I’m the PP whose kid has the alarm on her dresser. I need to shower myself, get dressed etc, feed the dog, make lunch ( If I’m off she gets a hot lunch in thermos) empty dishwasher etc…… MS is time for independence. [/quote] Oh FFS. Not the PP but of course you have the time to do this, you just don’t want to spend time doing this. Which is FINE. And then castigating PP for her lovely sounding wake up routine for not fostering independence, yet making your own kid’s lunch? Get some self awareness, please.[/quote]
