Alicia64 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 and not be zonked the next day?? Admittedly my dc go to sleep way too late. Admittedly so please don't bring it up. But by the time I get them down, post on here w/ a glass of wine (to unwind), it's 11 p.m.!! An hour later and . . . I'm definitely not getting enough sleep tomorrow. This week I could hear someone having Tea on the other side of our wall (we're still in an apt.) at 1 in the morning. All I could think was, "that poor woman. She's going to be zonked in the morning." :001_smile: Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginevra Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Caffeinated tea along with the other variety. Honestly, it's really just a decision you have to make. Kids in bed earlier or morning tea or weekend tea or weekend morning tea or creative location tea or tea at a conventional time with coffee in the morning...or tea.

Margo out of lurking Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Two 7 year olds. I stick a movie in the VCR, put the kids in front of the TV, lock my bedroom door and stick a pillow across the bottom of the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Was she going at it for an hour+ or just a few minutes? ;) Maybe she was asleep...and dh got into bed and she thought he looked cute. Unless it took a couple of hours, I don't see the problem here. lol Of course, I am not an early riser, tea or not. I like my morning at 8:30/9, thanks.

Julie Smith Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 You can schedule bed time so that it leaves time for teA. My dh knows that teA will happen if he comes to bed 9 hours before he has to get up in the morning. Otherwise I likely wouldn't want to have any tea. And since he is the first one up in the house, that means I will get enough sleep time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I can relate. TeA at night will wake me up. DH it doesn't affect, because he can have TeA and go right to sleep. Just the opposite in the morning. TeA in the morning puts me to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Morning tea, shower tea, afternoon tea, had a long day and we must take a short nap before dinner tea, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Dh and I sleep in separate rooms, and he works evenings, so night time tea never happens- which is fine with me too because I love my sleep :) ....Tea happens when the kids are away or occupied for a few hours and we have some spare time. Now and then. Usually afternoons. We just say we are having a nap, and lock the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LidiyaDawn Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 You need a lock on your bedroom door ~ that allows for uninterrupted 'tea' anytime you want it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Grace Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Right after the kids go down, before wine and forums! You can do that afterwards. It sends a big message to my dh when I put time with him BEFORE computer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorMom Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Tea should not be relegated to the evening :) 3:30 am tea is some of the best, as it 5:30 am, and 4 in the afternoon. I am usually so zonked by 9pm or 10pm, that it's just not as fun (however, this is only on days we have to get up really early). I have to admit that if the kids are in the house, and awake, I have a hard time enjoying my tea even with a locked door.... So that does complicate.

Mommyfaithe Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 You need a lock on your bedroom door ~ that allows for uninterrupted 'tea' anytime you want it. ;) :iagree: that is what I was going to say...and a rule. If the door is shut, don't knock unless there are flames shooting out or blood pouring out. Otherwise, figure it out yourself or wait. That rule applies for TeA or just plain ol' Mamma needs a break. Anyo e who breaks the rule deals with the wrath of mom. Or dad who had his TeA interrupted. Lol. Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in CA Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I can't solve the teA shortage without either becoming more bold about having teA while the kids are awake, or bringing up the unmentionable too-late kid bedtime. Something's gotta give! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I do, too, but it does tend to freak out the overnight guests. ;) :lol: Honestly, I find its about prioritizing. Time with hubby is incredibly important for us, so we grab a few minutes here and there, whenever we can. With 3 kids in the house, we've learned to get creative. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
