Feel so stupid/ not daycare rant!

[Monday 2 Friday Mama]

There's absolutely no need for you to feel stupid when other people are being inconsiderate - and that's exactly how these people are behaving - in an inconsiderate fashion. I HATE people who behave as though they are "superior" just because they are early risers. It just steams my waffles ! Everyone has their own sleep/wake cycles. In my pre-daycare days I was a late riser (9-9:30 A.M.) but I would routinely do my laundry and mop my floors at 11 P.M. - it was just easier to do that sort of stuff when my own little ones weren't under foot or needing care and feeding. I was raised with the understanding that unless it is an emergency (i.e. someone has passed away) you never call someone's home before 9 A.M. I remember my Mom explaining that adults needed a chance to sleep in, and that there were plenty of hours in the day for me to play with mt friends - there was no need to tear everyone out of bed before they were ready. I'm so sorry that your opportunity to sleep in was spoiled. I actually turn the ringer off on my phone when we're sleeping. I figure, 5 out of 7 days a week I'm up and at 'em dancing to five different families tunes with a smile on my face - the weekends are my time and I get to decide how it will be spent. If I want to sleep until noon and eat brownies for breakfast - so be it !
