Why Doesn't He Sleep In For Me?

My daughter is the same way it seems. This past weekend we visited my brother and my daughter slept till 9 every day. When we are at home most of the time she wakes up around 7. A few days this past week she did sleep in though. I am thinking growth spurt. Cause she is sleeping like 11 hours a night.

Sometimes disturbing children at a certain time in their sleep can cause them then to re-enter the deep proper sleep while he might seem asleep when he gets to the babysitter he may well be disturbed and as such when laid back down again goes into a deep sleep again (my daughter does this all the time) you might find if he was left that extra half hour every day he would always wake at 7am because he wakes when he is ready he doesnt still feel sleepy or needful of going back to sleep for a while x

The only way I could ever get my kids to sleep in on the weekend was to keep them up later than usual on Friday or Saturday. It was the only thing I could ever find to work. It is like our own automatic alarm clock our bodies get used to waking up on a normal schedule, our bodies do not know it is the weekend :0)...Hope you get to rest sometime.

Hello, singlemommy. I think you should get used to it. Waking up at 7 might be hard. But it is a healthy time to wake up. You could sleep until 10, but that would be inappropriate for a child. Children have a lot of energy. They wake up soon, get tired of playing around so much, and sleep. Then they wake up, mess all the house a little bit more, and go to sleep. I know what is it like. I used to wake my mother all the time too, when I was younger. I used to go to her bed soon in the morning (but not so soon), and said: "Mom, can I drink 'x'"?. And repeat. And repeat. Since she didn't answer, I said: "If you said nothing, then it means yes". lol I went and drank it. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

My older children do this every weekend. I cannot get them up during the week for School and have to drag them out of bed. Then when the weekend comes they are all up making a racket at 7.00am or 8.00amm. It really baffles me why this happens. Maybe they Know inside they do not have to go out or something. I even kept them up late one evening when we went visiting my Mother. I though "Great" they will sleep in, in the morning, but "NO".They where up with the birds also.

lol the joys of havin a 2 year old :P haha im sure its not amusing for u but it sounds pretty funny. maybe he just really enjoys ur company and doesnt want to sleep through it

Your little one is giving you the opportunity to get full enjoyment of his company for as much of the weekend as possible. He sleeps extra-hard during the week so that he can get extra Mommy time at the weekend Before children come along, the weekend is a time to relax and unwind - when kids arrive, weekends are full on "fun" ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz!

i think the reason is because mom is home and he knows that. he miss you during the day kids are smart and they know when mom is not their;

That's kids for you! I think they all get given a secret handbook at the time of conception called "how to make mummys life a misery!". As much as we love the little darlings they sure know how to make our lives as difficult as possible!

Almost the same case with my daughter... during weekdays... it is very difficult for me to wake her up early... i need to do that because i have to go to work... and i still need to feed her breakfast... clean her up... and take her to my in-laws... but during weekends... she is already up by 7:30... and i still want to stay in bed... I wonder why kids are like that... maybe the wake up early during weekends because they know we are there... and they want to spend a lot of waking time with us...

Not only during the weekends, she does that most of the days, but luckily my husband attends to her needs once she gets up (not often but sometimes), so if i am very tired, i will just request him and he will take care of her, whenever he does not, i really feel like somehow putting her to sleep by some way, but the fact is i end up getting myself wide awake...

He probably gets up early with you because he is soo excited for mommy time. I know its hard, but I think you should take it as a compliment.

i am in the boat with you!! i take my son to daycare 5 days a week now. on the days i have to get him up for daycare, he wont budge his little eyes open. he wants to sleep. come the weekend oh but heck no he is up before the sun!! He is also 2. Yea i really wish i could sleep in too. but it seldom ever happens. i have even tried to trick him into thinking he has to get up early on sat just so maybe he will sleep in but ha ha he is too smart for that! Maybe we can sleep one day!!

I have been there and still doing that now...LOL, I am in the same boat... and worse I have a 5 yr old, who now sleeps in til after 8:30...which he never did before school started for him... so it would be a blessing, only now we have a 1 yr old daughter who is up by 7 am everyday...so when I finally got to the point that we could have slept in, we are up because of the other one!! LOL Just remember these are phases they go through and eventually we will all be on the same schedule...hopefully!! LOL happy mylotting!
