Waking up teenagers

Another tactic my dad used once on my sister involved using a joke hairy spider. He rushed in, dropped it on her pillow and then yelled 'Stay still while I grab that H-U-G-E spider near your face'. That had her out of bed and across her room faster than lightning. The air turned blue when she realised she had been tricked.

It only worked the once mind, she was clearly way less gullible than me.

My teenager is now 23 and I wake him up, up, up for work every day lol. He works night shift and every night I am u and down stairs about 3 times to get him awake. Funny thing is when I am on holiday he gets himself up :rotfl:

Alarms annoy the living hell out of me...weirdly that used to help me get up. As soon as it went off i'd be straight out of bed My teenage siblings are pretty good at getting up, they usually get themselves up for 6th form/work.

I make myself a cup of tea and take it back to bed, but on the way I go into my DDs room and turn her radio on quietly. Half an hour later her alarm clock goes off to wake her up properly. But then she goes on her laptop to update her blogs, so she doesn't always remember to get out of bed to get dressed - so then I have to remind her that if she is late too often her dad will block her internet access in the morning, which usually gets her moving again!
