[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOW, YOUR DAUGHTER SURE LIKES TO SLEEP!
GRANDDAUGHTER SUREEEEEE LIKES TO SLEEP!
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ALL SLEEP SO LATE!
GOOD MORNING, SLEEPYHEAD!
WOW, THERE SHE IS!

This nonsense goes on from 6 a.m. forward. [/quote]

Same. We are not in that person's house today, but we hear this all the time when we are.

I'm adding this to my list of things never to say. [/quote]

My dad used to say "She lives!" when I'd get up at like 9am on a holiday. So grating. I will never understand people who are resentful that someone is getting rest. Unless there are chores to be done and someone has an obligation or commitment to do them early, why do you care?[/quote]

It took my parents years but we finally got to a compromise. They push breakfast back to 8:30a and I will wake up! (it still baffles me that they can't connect that my being asleep means I am not hungry!) and come down in pajamas to breakfast. They, of course, have been up and dressed for hours. But since it is important to them that we have breakfast as a family we settled on this. It works. They still joke a little about my bedhead and I milk it for laughs by coming down face washed, teeth brushed but otherwise as rumpled as possible. [/quote]
Early risers are always controlling nasty aholes. See the million threads on this site about people who sleep in are lazy, waste the day, have no life, etc.[/quote]

Some early risers are not like this! I am an early riser specifically because I like having time during the day when it's quiet and calm. Especially true when we have house guests, I would never expect them to get up with me and actually prefer when they don't. If one of my guests is an early riser, I prefer to stay out of each other's way.

I don't force breakfast on late sleepers. In that situation I would provide a breakfast people can graze when they wake, like yogurt with toppings and maybe some oatmeal on the stove. Happy to make coffee whenever people need it (I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't care). I don't see the point of trying to force a sit down meal in the morning if people have very different schedules. Sleep is important.[/quote]
