[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 143607, member: 3626"] Totally agree with DDD. This is so much a teen, it hurts. The chances of them getting up early is a joke. Unless someone stands over them and makes them get up, it ain't gonna happen. So, you could have slept in, cleaned your house, mowed your lawn, painted the barn and probably still had time for a cuppa before either one showed up. Personally, I would have told the boys no problem about using this as a meeting place. If one of them showed up early, they could have knocked and gotten me out of bed. I learned a long time ago to not change my plans for a teen (whether mine, a friend of my daughter's, my neighbor's or a friend of mine's) -- if the plan was mine, I expected to be banging on a door to get things moving. If the plan was theirs, I would do whatever I had planned and help out with their plans when they showed up. This is a take a deep breath type thing. I doubt either thought you were changing your plans around for them, just wasn't a consideration. They probably were surprised to hear you even considered sleeping in -- moms don't do that, you know. To Dude's mind, you really were overreacting. To most parents' minds, you were justified in being irritated. [/QUOTE]
