[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 333170, member: 4264"] This must be something catchy lol. I adore my S/O and he's a terrific guy. But some days I tell ya!! He has a thing about getting up too. Drives me crazy. I don't sleep well to begin with, a MS thing. Finally have gotten difficult child to get up on his own for school. I was up late with easy child who is home sick. She knew her medicine was on the table for morning and to please let me sleep unless she needs more than her medications, toast, etc which she can handle. S/O's alarm is on MY side of the bed. (Of course, PERFECT sense !!)It goes off. I hit snooze, tap S/O, time to wake up yada yada. 10 minutes later, alarm again. Same thing, tap, time to get up. Again 10 minutes later. Alarm goes. I bolted out of bed, told him he now had 8 minutes to get ready because his ride will be here. He had to shave, dress, brush teeth, pack his books and materials for classes, and getting dressed for outdoors in Canadian winter takes a bit of time. Of course, Im rallied to get up, gather his books and materials, find his wallet, and get difficult child out of the bathroom. difficult child doesn't go into the bathroom to get ready on school days until 10 minutes before S/O must leave. But after that, difficult child is scrambling himself. So kicking him out and leaving him rushing for classes, when he left the bathroom available for S/O, is completely unfair. I finally told S/O that when he pulls this, then I am first off, cut short of a rare chance to catch up on some sleep. I am then scrambling to get HIM ready.
