I do know, on the weekends, trying to get him up before noon was somewhat of a event. When he went off to college, we had to let go of those reigns so he learned the importance of clock management as well as scheduling afternoon classes. I could have resorted to my dad's technique of getting the three of us boys up on the weekend (show up in your room playing reveille on his cornet but that would probably be classified as abuse now-a-days. agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-13712422983221240142016-08-10T19:06:48.440-06:002016-08-10T19:06:48.440-06:00Money talks!

Our high school makes kids go to school for half day on Saturday (Saturday School) if they have 3 tardies or more in one week. Happened once with Wolfgang. Not yet for Meego, but I think he might have had some lenient teachers for first period so far.

One of my sons was worse at it than the other, and they missed the bus several times. When they missed it two days in a row (needing a ride from me and making me late for work), I announced I would charge them $10 each for a ride. They only missed it one more time after that, and after I collected a fast $20 they never missed it again.

That worked for a friend of mine that was reliant on his parents to wake up.

We found an old alarm clock, and it's poised and ready for full obnoxia tomorrow. Fingers crossed.<br />As for the Incline, just wait for me at the top.

For whatever reason, SHE could get up with her alarm. As for the boys, we kept trying multiple obnoxious alarms until they found one that woke them up. Their first few days at college, though, I worried they would never get up. <br />The more I see and read about the incline, the more excited I am! I hope you can keep up with me. ;) ShadowRun300https://www.blogger.com/profile/12135867148518005153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-76632882171925866462016-08-08T18:07:47.199-06:002016-08-08T18:07:47.199-06:00Ha, yes maybe I should clarify that we'd prefe...Ha, yes maybe I should clarify that we'd prefer that Meego be able to stay living with us while getting his own self up!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853360875281742784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-80018489162403897132016-08-08T16:14:43.517-06:002016-08-08T16:14:43.517-06:00I've got a few suggestions, but first I need t...I've got a few suggestions, but first I need to ask "how much do you love meego."
