Default up so early

I've had comments about me being up & awake so early a few times


I have to get up now cos dd1 starts school at 8am in the Instituto

this is her first trimestre there, and although I don't actually have to do anything, I feel I should be up to make sure she gets up and out OK (she's 12)

anyone else got/had this situation?

do/did you do the same?

and at what point did you decide to let them get on with it by themselves?

Default Re: up so early

I leave my 18 year old to his own devices - even if I know he is going to miss his train, because he has a problem getting out of bed and I am doing him no favours by constantly knocking on his door to wake him up.

My 12 year old is not a morning person either but will respond to a loud blast of "The Final Countdown" by Europe. If I play it loud enough he gets up. Strange how a 12 year old should like and respond to such a cheesy old track.

I don't really think you can leave a 12 year old to fend totally for themselves. They need moral support if nothing else. When do you back off - not a good idea while they are still in compulsory education in my opinion.

A nice lazy stretch at 8am doze for a while then jump out of bed to the sounds of the bin lorry and the street sweepers chatting and on with the day. Glad I don't have to get anyone up for school or work. It's nice to be able to decide when to get get up

Bin lorry. Street sweepers. Explain in words of one syllable to us campesinos.
