There are a couple days that he does but typically he'll doze right back off. It's more me getting out of bed that wakes him then anything since we cosleep.</p> <p>My cats on the other hand know the alarm... and come sit outside my door waiting for breakfast....</p> <p>And I'm one of the hit the snooze button to many time type of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2783698 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:09:08 +0000 cake2017 2783698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe try to set an alarm on your phone?

I think if you're quick to turn it off, you should be good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2651333 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 12:36:31 +0000 ElbieKay 2651333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2.5 and often wakes up at like 4am and sleeps with me the rest of the night. He pretty much always sleeps through my alarm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2651290 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 11:22:14 +0000 MrsBrewer 2651290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure how old your twins are, but we kept my DD in our room until she was 3-4 months old, and DH always had the alarm set for himself for work in the mornings. Plus he would hit to snooze once or twice! DD would always sleep through it. </p> <p>Maybe get a quieter alarm? Also probably depends on how your LO's sleep. We have 2 dogs at home, and she was already used to sleeping through the dogs barking, so she can easily tune things out when she sleeps. I say give it a go if you want to keep room sharing with them, and if you notice it disrupts their their sleep, maybe move into bed with your DH after the 1AM feeding as you suggested! It will all probably be trial and error once you start getting into a new routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-sharing-going-back-to-work#post-2651236 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:36:13 +0000 meadow 2651236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently room share with my twins in that I sleep on a twin bed in their room while they are in their cribs. My husband is in the adjacent (master) bedroom. I am returning to work soon and nervous about our morning routine. As of right now, I get up when the twins get up. For work, I plan to set my alarm for 4am and get the babies up around 5:15 to nurse/get ready then out the door for daycare by 6am.</p> <p>My fear is - they will wake up with my alarm instead of sleeping through. I'm not ready to stop room sharing entirely. One option, is to go sleep with my husband after their MOTN feeding around 1am.</p> <p>I know that every baby is different.....but just curious if anyone who room shares (their room or nursery) found that the baby didn't wake up to their alarm clock? Or baby woke up and I should plan for the alternate scenario....</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-23572 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:31:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 23572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an alarm on the house, but it's not hooked up. We're relying on our dogs to keep the house safe (great dane and ridgeback). So far, it's worked pretty well :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-23467 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 02:24:52 +0000 BSB 23467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we don't have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-23004 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:32:34 +0000 JessicaMcB 23004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have children yet, but we do not have an alarm system. We live in a pretty ghetto area of town because you can't find fully renovated three bedroom townhouses for $800 a month in the 'burbs ;).</p> <p>Our theory is (and has proved to be true) that poor people, which sadly a lot of our neighbours are, tend not to steal from or break into the houses of who they believe to be other poor people as they won't have anything worth taking. It also helps that we have the...ferocious guard pictured as my DP. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22993 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:25:26 +0000 ecogirl 22993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a highly annoying alarm that I constantly forget how to set and cost us $$ by making it go off all the time. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22988 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:23:59 +0000 Rescuemom10 22988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like we lived in a super safe neighborhood, and for the most part still do. We bought our house a little over a year ago and all the neighbors are great. Country setting and spread out but super friendly people. Most told us how its a good area, they dont lock there house all the time, or close the gates at the end of their property etc...well then this fall our neighborhood had 4 break ins and some attempted break ins. So things have changed. All during the day when people are at work. So we got an alarm system. For 40 bucks a month its good piece of mind when we are away and for our furbabies at home. I totally feel safe with our dogs (and yes we own a gun too) when we are at home, but you hear of sick things people do to animals when they break in and I worried about my fur babies if there was a break in. Plus I like the fire alarm too. If a fire happens when we are gone the FD will be sent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22493 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:17:35 +0000 mrsjyw 22493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we have a security alarm. We turn it on at night and when we leave the house. It also beeps twice any time a door is opened on the first floor. DH also keeps a gun in a biometric safe in our closet. </p> <p>And our two furbabies are my barkers against intruders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22455 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:50:30 +0000 Mrs. D 22455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but when we lived out west, the housing we were assigned had one, it just didn't function properly.<br /> I don't know if when we have our own house if we'd go to the expense. I've never lived anywhere where I felt unsafe enough to need one, and I doubt we'd buy a house in an area we felt the need. Besides, we have insurance for our stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22389 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:35:02 +0000 mediagirl 22389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It does not but we have two very barky dogs and a few signs outside that say we have a security system. I had a security system in my old house and it went off one too many times so I ended up just pulling it out of the wall in the closet where it was stored. I'm not really a big fan of them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22365 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 00:38:12 +0000 leelee 22365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do have an alarm since the house came with it, however after 5 years we still have no idea how to use it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22364 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 00:25:59 +0000 lemondrop 22364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, just the dog, 2 scaredy cats, and 1 vicious attack cat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22358 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 23:46:10 +0000 enjollah 22358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our alarm are our 2 furbabies.... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-of-a-spinoff-does-your-home-have-an-alarm#post-22350 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 23:28:26 +0000 Rosie Girl 22350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No alarm.

Friendly, but protective. Our house isn't at all big enough right now to warrant an alarm. I don't see us getting one in a future house either.
