[QUOTE="Hanging-On, post: 26909, member: 2325"] Hey Dreamer, I've tried all different scenarios. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. One of the problems is that we get home between 6pm & 6:30pm. difficult child has to take his medications at 6:30pm (because they knock him out and make him sleep forever. So to try and get us out on time in the mornings, the poor kid is forced to take these things early). Then we fix dinner, and I try to get them to take a bath while I'm doing that. Sometimes they will, and sometimes they won't. I completely understand them not wanting to come straight home and get ready for bed right when we walk in. They want to play, but we don't have the luxury of time. We get home say 6:15pm, and difficult child HAS TO BE in bed asleep no later than 7:30pm so when I wake him up the drug hang-over isn't that bad. That gives me no time to do anything thing with him, but try to feed him. Then in the morning, I push the envelope in waking him because I know he's still drugged up. So I wake him at 7am, and we have to leave no later than 7:20am to get easy child to school. I mean I have NO TIME to waste on either side (bedtime, and morning time). It stinks, absolutely stinks. I've told the doctors about this, and yet his medications aren't changed. I mean difficult child could sleep 13-14 hrs if I let him. But right now he's sleeping 11.5 hrs, and it's still not enough. So this is why this morning was like this. Even if I was a stay at home mom, or PT worker; I can't see it help because easy child has to be in class by 8am.
