One point made
As my DH is out of work (constructively terminated 2 weeks ago) he isn't sleeping very well so he is sleeping in our spare room so I can get a good night sleep. I have been dropping SS18 at school to save on gas.
So this morning I get up, get the coffee on, have a shower .... 6:15 and SS or DH aren't making a sound. OK, so continued getting ready for work....I told SS we would be walking out the door at 6:45 because we left later yesterday which made me late for work.
Hmmm, 6:35 and no sounds at all. Not even a toilet flushing.
Had another cup of coffee. SS18 comes out of his room and says "Aren't we leaving in 5 mins or something?"
Me - "Well I am. I haven't got time to wait for you. Your dad will have to run you to school."
Him - "Mutter, mutter." Went back to bed apparently because the door closed and his light went off.
6:42 and DH comes downstairs.
DH - "Didn't the alarm go off?"
Me - "Yes, mine did. You will have to get SS18 off to school. I can't be late again."
DH - "Didn't his alarm go off?"
Me - " No idea. He is 18 yrs old and I don't wake 18 yr olds up for anything other than a house fire or tornado siren. He SAYS he can get himself going in the morning and if you double check on him every morning that he IS up and moving he will never learn. If you and Ice Maiden continue to make his life easy....Anyway, bye, Happy job hunting. Talk to you later." Kiss Kiss.
MAYBE SOMEONE will NOW LISTEN to me when I say you don't wake HS seniors up in the morning like preschoolers at nap time. Or if he WANTS to be woken up he gets a wet facecloth in his face that has been left in the freezer overnight. That is one thing my ex suggested when our kids decided to sleep in on a school day.

And now it gets funnier.
DH didn't mind too much running SS18 to school. However SS told him "It would have been nice if someone had told me to turn on my alarm."
DH - If you were working full time do you think I am calling you every night to turn on your alarm? No, you set your alarm every night. It isn't my job."
OMG! Priceless.
OMG! Priceless. :sick:
Oneoffour, GOOD FOR
Oneoffour, GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

You certainly made your point and I am SO happy for you that you did!! Let DH "suffer" the consequences of his OWN LAZY SON not setting his alarm or not waking up on time.
I truly believe the ONLY way to teach these idiot men (or any "non-parenting method" parent) how screwed up they are making their kids is to MAKE THEM ACTUALLY PARENT THEIR KIDS THEMSELVES!! Let them deal with the consequences (i.e. having to drive a kid to school) of their kids' pathetic ways. This is the ONLY WAY they will SEE what is happening for themselves!
If you would've simply waited for SS and made yourself late for work again by driving him to school, DH would not have had to experience anything for himself and would've just rolled over and gone back to sleep. No problems for DH to see or to fix about HIS KID when YOU'RE doing it FOR him. YOU would be the only one suffering any consequence by being late for work and getting in trouble for it.
NOT MY KID, NOT MY PROBLEM (rinse, lather and repeat)!!!
SS18 needs to wake up (literally) and get a clue - HIS FAULT and no one else's when he doesn't wake up in time. Too bad, you idiot!!!! Oh, and what he said to DH on the drive to school - SO TYPICAL of these coddled, dependent, non-parented skids!!
WTF is with these idiot men (parents)?!?!? I don't get it either. Maybe someone on here can shed some light on this clearly dysfunctional, counterproductive method of parenting. Any takers???
