[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 101912, member: 1991"] Back when my kids were in long day care, I DID take them in their pyjamas if they weren't ready in time. So they knew I would also follow through with the threat for school. I did bring clothes for them to change into, but they had to do it with everyone watching at the centre (no privacy anywhere, even the kids' toilets were surrounded by glassed walls). Funny, it didn't happen too often after that. My kids now love to sleep in, but have rarely been late for work. They know I'm a mean mum when it comes to getting them moving - the mist spray bottle of water set on 'jet' and aimed up the INSIDE of the pyjama leg, from the ankle - there is no kid who will stay in bed after that one, it just feels too awful. It's much more effective than a wet washer in the face, and makes less trouble in terms of needing to change sheets. Marg [/QUOTE]
