At long last I have decided to teach ds1 a lesson about what time he sets his alarm clock!  Having woken up at 5:30 with Winston needing a feed, I was ready to go back to sleep having settled him back down in his moses basket, when I heard a LOUD alarm clock go off!  Seeing as though dh and I never set our alarm (we have Winston) ds2 and dd don't have one, so I went into ds1's bedroom wondering how long it would take him to turn it off!  Well it continued, and it woke Fred up!  I made ds1 turn his alarm clock off, and said if Fred didn't settle, then he would be getting up!  I went back to bed hoping that Fred would settle! well that didn't happen!  So I went in and got ds1! lol  I told him if he wanted his alarm clock to go off that early, then he would get up that early!  Especially seeing as though he woke Fred up! lol  Hence why I am sat here typing at this unearthly time of the morning!  But I had so much much fun kicking him out of bed, it was well worth getting up at the same time! rofl

Maybe now he'll think before he sets his alarm too early and then go back to sleep! lol

Pmsl - Oooo you meanie mummy, Vix.  I bet he wasn't smiling when you did that.  It's a good lesson learned though.

    Good for you. They all deserve a shock sometimes. I am my dds alarm clock and she still doesn't get up until the last possible minute however many times I shout at her.

Rich has a terrible habit at weekends of not turning the alarm clock off which wakes me up and I can never get back off to sleep.
