[QUOTE="buddy, post: 508161, member: 12886"] Please dont ever compare your problems with anyone elses... HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS.... It is a matter of what we are used to I suppose, but I would not trade my one intense kid for TWO ganging up on me for a second!!!!! You have a near-puberty girl who may be having some growth/hormone issues going on... and a very challenging five year old. Q will refuse to get up and luckily he doesn't want to miss the bus so I can say ok... if you are not up then I call the bus because it is not fair to make them wait and he pops his booty out of bed... Wish it was that easy a fix for most issues, but I deserve a break once in a while LOL!!! Still, I DO say to him that if he can't get up and do well because he is too tired, then he needs to go to bed earlier... NOW that may not be the issue for real, but for him the thought of going to bed earlier does not go over well and he generally will stop whining or not cooperating etc.... (in regard to that issue anyway... wish it worked for all his behaviors!) so... thinking with my mean mommy hat....do you have a loud bell you can ring and not stop ringing until they are out of their beds??? OR LOUD Opera music or some other obnoxious music that forces them to not be able to go back to sleep??? And then there is nice mom who would offer immediate incentives.... even pay for this because I hate morning routine issues so badly that yes, I would make this an allowance situation and hope to build to self reliance. But as we all know here, many of our difficult child kids do not respond to incentives or consequences, I get that, but just brain storming here..... Obviously the others have given more productive advice, so just thought I'd say I agree and throw out some survival possibilities... clearly there are underlying issues of some sort so that is what you need to really work on...feel free to ignore me... I seem to have some flighty ideas today [/QUOTE]
