Anyone know any fail safe ways of getting them OUT of bed in the mornings?

My daughter is almost unconscious when it's time to wake up.. (really!) No matter how early she gets to bed.. she is practically comatose in the morning.. and it's becoming a big problem.

I wake her every ten mins for almost 2hrs.. and I just don't have time to faff about doing that every day.

When I say wake her.. I mean it's at the point now where I have to make as much noise as possible AND shake the flippin bed.. ...

Gone are the days of.. Morning honey, time to get up .

Any ideas? ... anyone else have one of these teens? ...

MY boys aren't like that..

Throw the dog onto the bed.

Oh...that is SOOOOOOOOOO simple......

a bucket of water....

it's cheap, easy on fabric, mild cleansing action, unforgettable effect, and achieves objective instantaneously....satisfaction guarenteed....or your bucket back....

mornin' Claire...

tell me about it .. my younger brother is exactly like that .. at one point we decided we shall let him miss school unless he learns to get up on his own ..

well it worked .. but very little

hahah yes, I use to spray water in their face out of a spray bottle.

and in the winter I wave the blankets up and down so all the cold are wakes them up.

And stay in there room talking away even though their not repsonding but I know they're awake.

send her to Auntie Claayer she is always helping those in need

Yep.. tried that..

so harrrd isn't it.. when you have a 'Sleeper'

Is she my 16-yr-olds double????? I had the same problem with him when he was still in school...so many days I threatened to send him to school in his boxers Not that I would have, mind you but he did not have to know that

It's funny though my girls are the sleepers. Adam has always been up at the sound of a sparrows fart.

hahah.. I have tried all the threats of going to school in her undies.. or worse still .. (for her) without being allowed to straighten her crazy hair.

At the moment I am trying.. on the days she does not make it to school on time, she doesn't get to go out after school.. no swimming no youth club etc etc.

So for the last 4 school days... she has gone nowhere.

No seriously now....remember you're talking to an old bachelor here, with no child-raising experience.....I'm sure that a bucket of water used once, and only once, would forever change that habit....if that kid knows that they have to be up by a certain time otherwise there's a price to pay.....how bad is that??...I mean, life is not going to be any easier on them later on, and the army would do the same or worse, so where's the problem??...Why not get the lesson learned before it's too late....you'd be setting up a great habit of getting up and going early...fantastic!!
