No not just for the summer all year round. Once at school my daughter can sleep till 7:30, my husband doesn't go to work till after eight usually. I know I start at seven and everyone in the household has to realize loud parents and/or screaming crying kids can come in that early. I just feel bad that especially when I have daycare kids sleeping over they're always up early to get ready to come here so they have a chance to sleep in. the baby I usually have can sleep in till eight or 830 so I just feel bad for him. kids come in quiet now as they're over the new crying phase. it's just these parents that I thought would realize my family would still be sleeping even know I'm up and open and they've been up for a bit but I guess they don't realize that ,lol
