4 freakin thirty!

[nikkiARNGwife]

that's what time DS woke up this morning AND yesterday morning...Daylight Savings time is KILLING me...his usual wake up time is 6 am..I could understand 5 am but WHY is he waking up at 4:30???? I guess it's good practice for when the baby gets here lol

I even kept him up an hour later last night to see if it would help and nope..it's like he's his own little alarm clock

[LenaGardner]

here,too. An hour difference my butt. We are normally up at 8 and my kids have gotten up at 6 the last two mornings. I don't get it. This one has been a really rough transition for us all. Parker went to bed for the night at 5:45 on Sunday. Normally he goes to bed at 9. ???

[Nikki Epperson]

Yuck. That stinks. Mine seem to want to sleep even later - as if I could get them ready for school on time as it was.

[Jennifer]

Mine are going to be a little after 6 and waking up before 6. R woke up at 5:10 this morning. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy does DST have to do this to them???

[newfiemountiewife]

Rae got up extra early today too! Yesterday sucked, today sucks even more! I have a splitting headache, and she's WHINING so much, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Amy Carey]

I wish DLST would have that affect on ME. For some crazy reason I keep overleeping and can't get up in the morning!!

[juliemarie]

Mine is normally up right at 5 am... which has meant 4:00 & 4:05 the last 2 mornings... yuck! I even tried keeping her up later and she fell asleep on the couch instead. I think whoever invented daylight savings time never had kids...

oh, my girls did great this morning finally! they had a horrible time going down last night though, so we're putting them to bed earlier tonight! I think they were overtired!

How old is he again? Isn't he 3 or 4? I don't know what he's like, but a few months ago we picked up a little alarm clock for my daughter (just turned 4) and she knows she has to stay in her room until 7 (you can say 6 since that's his usual time). I put a little sign right under the clock and wrote a 7 on it so she remembers (which she doesn't need after all)... but she knows. So even if she wakes up, she has to stay in her room until 7. It has worked wonderfully!

[Tracyfish]

That is an awesome idea Sarah! I might try that. L.J. was an 8 or 9am sleeper until about a week ago and this morning he wandered into our room at 5:10am!!!! This sucks!

Dude I feel your pain. 4 freakin 45. Argh.

We did that with my DD who was a painfully early rise (like 5 a.m. EVERY DAY) and it worked great.

This is why the rest of the country should wise up and NOT do DST, like here in Arizona. I love it.

i vote for a dose of midnight benadryl!

[scrappychic]

I hear ya...the girls didn't get up that early but they were up when I was in the shower this morning and started jumping on the bed being loud. My youngest started squirming around and it wasn't even 6:30 yet.

[BrattyMeg]

we do the clock thing too...Cam (4) and Ryleigh (2) have to stay in their room until 6 (SIX) haha...They are allowed to turn the tv on if they get up before that..but they have to stay in their room (unless they have to potty lol)

[Chels85]

no kids but got up at 6am for no reason.. DST messed me up
