[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 393824, member: 1991"] I use water. In our house we use various mist spray bottles, mostly with water in them, for cleaning. In the laundry the bottle contains vinegar. To get a difficult kid out of bed, I get the mist spray bottle, adjust the nozzle to JET (check it by firing it into the sink first) then I go into the kid's room, quietly lift the bedding from the foot of the bed, gently ease the pyjama leg away from the ankle, then fire up the inside of the pyjama leg with the spray bottle. On jet. They might try to lie there and ignore it, but the feel of clammy damp pyjamas in the leg regions generally wakes them up enough to get them out of bed. They have to change to feel comfortable, and by then they are awake. There isn't enough water in this to need to dry out the bedding or pyjamas, but this does work. You do need to be able to retreat fast, however. Also, you may find the other kids beg for a turn at the spray bottle. And you only ever get to do this a handful of times. After tat, the kid hears you coming with the spray bottle and they magically levitate out of bed... Marg [/QUOTE]
