LillyMama Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Are they inherently evil? Or is this just something our world of sin has created in them? Nature vs. Nurture acted out in real life in our house. Holy cow, where is the sun and why am I looking at a sky that isn't fully lit up yet?!?!

Dana Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 My son seems to be one of these. I think he may be a changeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It is a sad state of affairs when 5:30am is considered sleeping in around here. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be one so now I guess it is payback.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have a rule that the kids aren't allowed to come downstairs until 7am (they have a Teach Me Time clock that turns green at 7am, so even the kids that can't read a clock still know it's ok or not ok to come down!). If they get up, they play in their room or in the toy room quietly. If they get up insanely early (like 5:30am), I send them back to bed, saying, "It's too early!" :D Oh, and they have blackout curtains on their windows. I got the cheap ones from Walmart, and they've worked fine. Their room stays dark enough to keep them sleeping even when the sun is up so early. They don't stay sleeping a LONG time, but it's not as early as the sun comes up. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellelynnr Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 My son is an early riser by nature, while I'm an early riser by necessity :) I've trained him to read in his room until around 7:30 so I can have some time for prayer and Bible study while the house is quiet.

acablue Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I've been a morning person/insomniac my entire life. I wish I could sleep in. Me too. I have apologized to my mother for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
