[quote=Anonymous]Speaking as a grandmother-aged person who has been Not A Morning Person since earliest childhood: imo, meeting the agreed deadline to leave for or begin an all-family activity for the day is the only mandatory expectation for family vacations. If some family members of whatever age decide sleep takes precedence over breakfast, that's their decision. (Hint: if you sleep late enough, lunch comes really soon after waking; you won't starve.) If family meals together, properly cleaned up and dressed for the occasion, are a priority, try to agree to schedule those at non-controversial times of day, like lunch or dinner. Kids and parents who are not naturally early risers suffer so much of the year under norms that have them awake far too early, vacation really needs to be a time when they can sleep more according to their circadian rhythms. Don't expect quality family time to happen together when they've been dragged out of bed too early, anyway. (And conversely. arrangements for family time together should accommodate those who simply can't cope with late nights.)[/quote]
