Hypno's kick up the backside debt diary....

elantan

my son has nver had a bed time ..we usually give up at midnight he's still up till 1 or 2 or even later ..he's never slept since the day he was born (one of the many reasons why we only have 1 kid)

Taxi, you are so right - it really should be something that is taught in schools. Surely it would be quite easy to incorporate it as a topic for English and Maths lessons, and certainly in PSHE type lessons?

Elanten, I have always been quite strict about bedtimes, and in fact it has only recently gone up to 8pm from 7.30!!

Bedtimes are important to us partly because our children do so much activity that they get very tired if they do not sleep (eg getting up for ski races at 4am on Sunday mornings, skiing 3 or 4 times a week and karate a couple of times a week, plus other after school sports etc), and the second most important reason is that we are selfish and need to have some time to ourselves before it is our bedtime!

Grown up time when we can have a conversation without having a child butting in is most valuable!!!

hypno i know what you mean we go to bed to have the grown up time (just talking) son does loads of sports etc aswell but just doesnt need sleep never has it can be soo tiring i used to let him run around the living room whilst i lay on the couch finally at 5 am he would fall asleep then wake up at 7 am just to stay awake till next morning at 5 am never needed an afternoon kip ...infact if he slept in the afternoon we panicked cause something was wrong (usually there was) i dont know if it was his asthma medication or not but it was hard work

hypno06

El, you must have been exhausted! You may be right about the asthma medication though - my daughter threw herself down the stairs as a result of her inhalers when she was 2 or 3!!

Today I have been out and seen a couple of clients and have a couple more to see this evening so a good day as long as I have no cancellations. Just waiting for an ebay sale to be collected by the buyer and another £52 to add to the pot :j and then a friend coming round for coffee this afternoon so need to get a bit of housework done. Just a bit mind.....don't want anyone to worry.....:rolleyes:

elantan

your job sounds amazing ..and yes i was totally exhausted with son ...as i said one of the many reasons we only had one i couldnt do it again for all the money in the world ...he's nearly 16 now and having all those wonderful 16 year old issues ..oh the joys

hypno06

Yes, my job is amazing. You will find out just how good it is soon, I'm sure!!

Be careful if you're doing the housework hypno - don't overdo things

Make sure you stop for a jaffa cake break every 15 minutes!

Ugghh, I remember karate uniforms, me and hubby used to go - they take forever to iron and still look like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards. Keep intending to go back once I've had the baby, as it's quite good exercise, but I'm not sure how motivated I will be.

snaggles i'm sure we can come up with plenty of excuses for you if you need them lol
