Why do they sleep in on weekdays?
As I write this I am waiting for MM to go to sleep. What parent out there hasn't dealt with the nighttime routine - I'm hungry - I'm thirsty - I need to pee - I'm just not tired - and then finally, the silence of sleep. I've tried tiring him out, bribing and even threatening and none of it works! Ah well, eventually he always sleeps.
Which brings me to my question for the universe. Why oh why does he always wake up at 6:00 a.m. on the weekends and on days off, but he sleeps till 7:30 on school days?
Ah there it is - the ever so soft snore - he's gone to sleep. Now I can go do all my other chores...

Sheer perversity?
Perhaps because school is more stressful so they need more sleep. Weekends aren't stressful (well, generally speaking) so less recovery is needed.
Funny, I had a conversation about exactly this with my huz this am. We both managed to shower and get dressed and both kids were still out cold, wheras on the weekend...they were both up at 6am and rarin to go...just not fair...don't they know grownups need to sleep in on weekends and get out the door on weekdays?
Because they like to piss you off!!
