It is spring break. That means rules are out the window! I don’t care how late the kids stay up, within reason, of course. I am usually up late with them. I like to sleep in. During a regular school week, I have a million alarms set on my phone to wake up. Everyone sets alarms now too, which is great!
I have an unwritten rule that I do not set alarms on the days where we don’t have to get up... No alarms should be set by anyone! I know I have started to share this unwritten rule with my oldest son. He and I get up about the same time on somedays. There are some Saturdays where he leaves his alarm on and I can hear it through both our closed doors. So, we had a talk about this earlier this school year. I think has forgotten to turn of the alarms that are set for just during the week. The alarm going off on a non-school day is one way to make this momma’s day start off on the wrong foot. Except today, it wasn’t his, it was my mom’s alarm on her phone that she left on the kitchen table. So, she was taught about the unwritten rule! NO ALARMS on days off please!

I like to sleep in too; good for you. No alarms sounds like a reasonable rule in your house.

I haven't set my alarm this week either. I've slept until my four-footed alarms decided it was time for breakfast. I think someone needs to teach them the rules!
