When I was little my dad woke me up every morning by reading me a story, which was great. As I got older I had an alarm clock but my mom would also come in and slowly wake me up. It would start out nice at first but eventually she'd have to get up and get herself ready so she'd yell at me to get up every few minutes. </p> <p>Even today I'm terrible at waking up in the morning. I have three different alarms set, and my husband's alarm helps too. Ugh. I am not a morning person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-trouble-getting-up-and-ready-for-school#post-89352 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:46:11 +0000 chopsuey 89352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to wake up literally 5 minutes before we would leave for school. I'd sleep in my school clothes (which often times was sweats or pj bottoms--yikes!). would just brush my teeth and we were out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-trouble-getting-up-and-ready-for-school#post-89339 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:32:28 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 89339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! And my mom really spoiled me. She used to bring me cereal in bed and lay out my clothes for me and I would just lay there and slowly get dressed. It explains why now I have such a hard time getting up in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-trouble-getting-up-and-ready-for-school#post-89338 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:27:01 +0000 BSB 89338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: What!?! Wow! I would have certainly gotten up if my dad did that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-trouble-getting-up-and-ready-for-school#post-89329 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:09:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 89329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my dad would put ice cubes down our shirt if we didn't wake up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-trouble-getting-up-and-ready-for-school#post-89327 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:03:48 +0000 BSB 89327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Yeah, I think in high school when I drove to school, I didn't need help from my parents. It was mainly in elementary school and middle school is when I needed the help. We were too close to the school to get bused, so we had to walk or get driven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-trouble-getting-up-and-ready-for-school#post-89320 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:54:09 +0000 heffalump 89320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't love getting up but I always did. When I was in middle and high school I woke up by alarm clock and not my parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-trouble-getting-up-and-ready-for-school#post-89319 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 14:52:35 +0000 BSB 89319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. My brother and sister all had trouble getting up for school. My dad had to wake us up and practically kick us out of bed. </p> <p>My niece, on the other hand, gets up on her own. My nephew (her brother) has trouble getting up for school. I wonder what made my neice get up on her own. I would love for my children to be motivated to go to school. </p>
