Why do they do it????

Sunday mornings. The only chance we actually get to sleep in and of course it's always the one day a week all 3 kids wake up earlier then usual!!!

I did have a couple of other chances this week to but they were all thwarted only for the boys to actually sleep in on the days either side. For example:

Monday - Our local area had a public holiday so the boys couldn't go to childcare nd I had to take the day off work to look after them...up at the crack of dawn.

Tuesday- Back at work. DS3 (10.5 months) woke up early but fell asleep during his morning BF which he hasn't done for 7 months and slept in until 7:30am. The other boys didn't wake up till 7.

Wednesday - Public holiday for me and my husband. All 3 kids up before 6 am.

Thursday - My first official non-work day for the week. Up at the crack of dawn.

Friday - Non-work day. Up at the crack of dawn.

Saturday - Swimming lessons for DS3. The day of the week we have to be out of the house the earliest (leaving by 7:30am) Had to drag DS1 and 2 out of bed at 7am to get them ready on time. (Though in DS1's defence he had been up at 2am throwing up and the 3 of us (DS1, DH and I) didn't get back to bed till after 3am due to the amount of cleaning that had to be done.....though the others slept through it.

Sunday - Had to get up to both DS1 and DS2 through the night (very rare occurance), both ended up in our bed during the night (first time either of them has done it in over two weeks) and then DS3 woke up at 5am when it was still dark....can't remember the last time that happened...and he of course managed to wake the other boys up which ended up in a fight over space in the bed which was an end to any sleep grrrr....YAWN!

I'm always nagging dd to get up on school days, and then the same thing... Up at 6am on days we could sleep in, including today!!! And of course bub woke at 6 as well. They just know that you really want to sleep and are programmed to be evil!! Lol

Sorry to brag ladies but it's 9:15am here and DS is still asleep and DD is at her nannas grin

DH and I just woke up!

there are people in life who could only dream of having a kid wake them up and would be greatful if it was possible for that to happen.Stop being so damn ungrateful and imagine how hard it would be if you didnt have them to do that PERMANENTLY

I don't think anyones being ungrateful chick just having a light hearted winge I wouldn't read to much into it smile

Sorry Tands, but I think your comments are a little harsh.
I am aware that some people can't have kids and go through a very difficult time, but I also think it is ok for parents to be able to write that they are tired, and wish their kids would sleep in.
That is not being ungrateful

i dont consider my comments harsh at all. I think people should imagine being in my situation and the wish that they could have kids and could only dream of having the kids do things they shouldnt. That people are so ungrateful about those moments is beyond comprehension.

Woah ok that link was ridiculous I wouldn't care what the sex of my baby is your talking about a minority YES being a mum is the hardest job you will ever do but with the risk of sounding a bit rude why come on here and complain that mums are having a winge? we are allowed I'm sorry your going through that but you don't need to have a go at us a mums and make us feel like shite its not going to acheive anything.

so you have the right to make the childless feel like shite by whinging but they dont have the right of response?

I read the article, and infertility is close to my heart. Hence why I have donated my eggs, so a infertile couple gets a chance to be a parent and have what I have.
Children are a blessing, and I count my blessings when I see my girls. Parenting can be hard, and I wish every one could experience the joys and lows of being a Mum.
I'm sorry that you have to struggle to become a Mum.
I do believe that parents have a right to complain from time to time,and I think it is ok to do this on a parenting forum. I'm sure my kids would complain about me.
I don't think any one is being ungrateful at all

Tands, I've seen you get upset on this forum about similar things but unfortunately this is a forum for parents to support, vent etc.. because as blessed as we are we still need it. I know it's also a place for you to get support and vent on your TTC journey but maybe this is not a positive/helpful place for you if it makes you feel this way which results in you attacking another women over her vent(which she is fully entitled too)
