Every morning our alarm clock is playing but no one listen or they put it on the snooze every 20 min.\nI have to yell and yell to wake them up and then they would be groggy and mad.\nIf I don't, they are upset that either they are late for school or they needed to finish something...\nWhat should I do?

well here's what my dad used to do...\n\nat 7.30 in the morning he would walk into our bedroom, past our beds, open the curtains so the blinding sunlight fills the room, then on his way out he'd rip our blankets off and throw them on the floor. \n\nI can't say we wern't  pissed when he used to do that in the mornings but i'll never forget it.

I think maybe you should make hints to them  that they keep you up at night. If that doesn't work, then just tell them that you really do not want to hear them every night. It is bothering you.   GOOD LUCK!!!

Oh for goodness sake!!! HOW old are you!? Are you really unable to sort your own life out? Kids need disipline. If you don't want you're man to be moody, tell them to fight elsewhere! Dependant on their ages, have you not tried teaching your kids correctly about how to behave in this society?? A smack probably wouldn't be out of place either!\nSend them to bed early if they won't stop fighting and if that won't happen, you've not done a good job at parenting, sorry!

i am exactly like you are.  I'm always.. stuck and getting picked on.  But i just ignore them.  I stick with my friend.  dont' worry about them.  there obviously immature and just ignore them and they will stop.  I know that its hard and that sometimes  you want to go up and smack them.  but it will make things worse if you do it to by talking about htem behind there back.  just remember how much that it hurt you.  and now you don't want to hurt htem.  they will EVENTUALLY grow up.  and if they don't.. well then thats there problem.  just be how you want to be.  its okay to cry. i've cried at school a million times.  all because of DRAMA.. it sucks but you'll make it through.  good luck.. best of wishes<33

In a school I went to for my GED there was, as in nearly any class, detractive students.  It was actually suggested that we tell interrupting students to be quiet, and that the teacher would not have any qualms with that.  Depending on the individual, there are numerous tacks to take.  If this person is a brat they may be acting out, and even assaulting you.  Watch for clever verbal assaults.  One of the best responses I've found is: "It's unfortunate that you feel that way!"  If that doesn't work try: "Everyone in the class knows what you're up to."  You'll be surprised how well that works!

It is perfectly fine for your child to wake up at these times. I myself used to do the same thing. Perhaps set a household rule that the child is not allowed out of the room until a parent comes to get them on weekends. Give them some toys to play with or maybe a small tv with a movie in it to watch from the time they wake up until the time you wake up.

Just say, "well I hate to be rude but I think we're gonna have to get together another time I have some personal errands to run or I have to get some sleep". Tell them you'll call them tomorrow as you stand up & start walking to the door. Or you could scream there's money falling from the sky & slam the door behind them & lock it as they run out. heehee...best of luck to you!

How old are the kids? If they are old enough to talk to and understand you are busy and need them to stay at home then by all means talk to them. If not then the parents need to control them better. If this isn't working then I would suggest you talk to the kids and explain that maybe if they don't bother you for a while then they could come to visit for a hour. The kids must like you to want to come over so much so this may work if they think you will pay attention to them for an hour. If this doesn't work then make sure your doors are always locked.. Good Luck

There's actually a funny saying that all my teachers have hung up in their classrooms. It says "Everyday I give special attention to one person... today is not your day..... tomorrow doesn't look good either." You don't have to say that, but I thought that is pretty funny... but in all seriousness you should approach them and be like "Listen... you all are very close to me, but there isn't enough me to go around." Then if two of your friends get into a fight you simply say... "i'm sorry... but I am NOT taking sides." Sometimes... unfortunately... you have to take a stand with your friends like that. Good luck!!!

Let them sleep....the body has it's own clock and will wake your son when it needs food. Forced feeding will only lead to obesity. Make sure that he has food available. I mean, don't punish him by making him wait if he has slept through a meal. You might look into the possibility that he has "night owl syndrome". My son does and if I had known there was such a thing during his school years he probably would not have had to deal with the taunting from his teachers and classmates. If you are concerned about his health, maybe it is time for a trip to the doctor.

Honestly you could ask them to keep their kid quiet. But in all reality if the kid is in his own yard and before 10 pm there is nothing that you can do. Try moving the infants crib to the other side of the house, or maybe moving the nap time from when you know the other kid will be screaming................

move your alarm clock so that you can't reach it without getting up.   or place several alarms to go off one after the other so it would take too much effort to snooze them all.

set an alarm on the other side of the room away from your bed so to turn it off you have to get out of bed...then leave your room as quickly as possible to avoid the temptaition of getting back into bed...also listen to loud music or call someone and talk to get your mind awake and less tired

Sounds to me like they are trying to act better than they really are.  Have you told them how they are acting? (sometimes people really don't know)  If you've tried talking to them and they won't listen you may just have to play their little game with them.  Stop babysitting for them and stop letting them in the house until they pull their heads out of their butts and grow up.

Be more understanding that they look up to you and want to do everything that you do.  I also saw something on TV that might help you.  Hang a sign on your door.  On one side saying Enter and on the other side DO Not Enter.  Tell the kids that you must have some privacy and they can only come in the room when they see the sign reads Enter.  Surprisingly once you give kids boundaries they listen.

Whatever you do, GET TO SCHOOL BEFORE IT CLOSES!!!  Tell your mom or your neighbor or a close friend.  You could try calling someone in your class who is not exactly your friend...maybe someone who you wouldn't normally talk to.

Why did you wait until the night before the test to start crying out for help.\nNext time, make the teacher take time to bring understanding, even if it means staying afterschool.
