Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008Am I the only person who rings their kids..
to wake them up? I set an alarm and have it on snooze to ring every 15 minutes thereafter. Depending on what shift Pete is on I ring him to wake him up, Anthony has to be up about 6.30, Alex about 6.20. I get out of bed for Jazz. Summer is ok, winter is difficult... Last night I said, someone ring Jazzy and tell her dinner is ready :) Pete just rang me from the lounge room to ask for a blankie... Having a final snooze before the overnight shift. >to wake them up? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >just rang me from the lounge room to ask for a blankie...

Have you considered a large fire bell in the kitchen, with repeaters in each room? Or if you want to be serene and enlightened, a very large Buddhist temple gong?

Having a final > snooze before the overnight shift. When my kids were still at home in school I woke them up....but once they were out of the house they were on their own. They are adults and are to be responsible for themselves....if they get fired from a job for being late they will find away to get up in time. Besides my boys now have wives to wake them and my daughter has a husband:) >> to wake them up? >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > job for being late they will find away to get up in time.

Make it more cost effective to move out.

And all the other internal and external chores. Mum washed once a week and if your dirty clothes were out their in the backet, they got washed. Mum ironed at here leisure and you had to wait. If that didn't suit, you knew where the washing machine was and where the iron was. Lump it or leave. Lol, I've finally gotten my wife trained to only iron stuff I specifically say needs ironing. 905 of my stuff doesn't need it now. > They have done the sums unfortunately.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I hope they are taking turns in the family cooking? > And all the other internal and external chores. When I lived with my parents (as a long-term-boomerang) I didn't pay any room or board (or phone bills, but this was back in Ma Bell days & long before cell-phones were at all common!), but I did take care of all the grocery shopping, dinner prep (other than "cook's night out"!), liquor stocking, & other errands. I cleaned my own rooms & did my own wash. When we had a dog I did my share of dog-care. I also did airport runs several times a year when they travelled. Even after I moved out I was close enough to look after the mail & so on when they were away. And close enough to take my dogs over there to enjoy the *fenced yard* and grandma's attention. bj > How do you get kids to move out? :) You could point out to them that if they don't move out & something happens to you & you need taking care of, it'll be hard for them to move away *then*. Yes, it worked on me! :-) bj >> How do you get kids to move out? :) > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Yes, it worked on me! :-) Lol, I have used that and Jasmine is disabled and they know she will need a home as well but it doesn't effect them. >> How do you get kids to move out? :) > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Yes, it worked on me! :-) > bj A co-worker and her hubby did the house-to-condo thing early and told (24yr old) son bye-bye.

Parents redecorate son's room in the most tacky, campy, dare-I-say CHEESY 70's style and son says at dinner that night "Love what you've done to my room". Then the old lady comes on and says "Can't get your kids to leave home? Stop giving them cheese!" I couldn't find that particular one on YouTube, but here's another in the series that's a hoot too. There was maybe a half-dozen different ones and they're all funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39UkI_ak0Z8 Vicki >>>>>> to wake them up? >>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39UkI_ak0Z8 lol. Well that took a while. First my oldest son stayed until he was 22...then he got fired from his job because he was still drunk when he went into work...his Dad and I sat him down and informed him, he was not going to be a career bum...he either go to college or join the service...he joined the AF and plans to retire in 15-18 years(he has been in for 12). My youngest son went to the local University on full scholarship..so we offered him free room and board until he graduated..took him 4.5 years(he is a Chemical Engineer) He got a job in Phoenix 2 months after he graduated, and he moved there...:) He got married there and has not moved home:) My daughter stayed in AK when we moved back...but came back home three months later...then moved out again when she was 22. She came back pregnant at the age of 24(I preached safe sex, birth control, and commitment from the time they were all 12...didn't work) I told her we would support her in any decision she made about the pregnancy..she chose to keep the baby. I told her, fine but after the baby was born, she had to find some kind of career, because she could not support a baby on $5.00 an hour...so after the baby was born she went to cosmetology school. Once she got a job I thought she would move out...but nooo.. she had a free babysitter. So when he was two I told her he had to go to day care at least a couple of days a week...I thought maybe she would move out then...but no such luck. When he was 5...my hubby and I decided to buy some acreage in a rural area outside of Tucson...I asked her if she was going to move with us because if she was I would have to make sure we had enough bedrooms...she said "No Way I'm not living in the sticks!!"...and my dear that is how I got her to move...LOL. My husband said we should have moved sooner:) She has never moved back, and has since gotten married...and guess what?.. they moved out of Tucson and just live a few miles from us...LOL. Now they have all flown the nest and I'm loving it...:) Jacquie >>> to wake them up? >>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > How do you get kids to move out? :) > Well that took a while.
