Your child falls asleep on the drive home from daycare. She's been sleeping for an hour now. Bedtime is 7:30. When do you wake her?
-
Oh my god, I would wake her right away!
-
Wake unless you want to be up late tonight.
-
I would have been bellowing in the car and throwing things.
-
It depends on the time zone
-
Nope. I never wake them, ever! I just go with the flow!
ETA: BUT. We don't have to be anywhere in the mornings other than preschool 3 days a week which isn't until 9. So it's NBD when their schedule is thrown off. I can see that being different for a child whose parent has to be at work (and therefore child at daycare) early the next day.
-
DD can nap, be up for 30 minutes then eat a bottle and go down for the night without problem.
So I'd wake her up about 30 minutes before bedtime.
-
I'd wake her up by 4:30 (normally we get home by 4). Normal bedtime is between 6-6:30 and I'm fine if she's up a bit later too. But she seems to have no problem falling asleep again about 2 hours later.
-
I make sure LO will be up an hr before bedtime. Usually she'll go down fine, but sometimes needs 2hrs between nap & bedtime.
-
This is my worst nightmare. I'd wake her.
-
I'd wake within 5 minutes of being home or I'd wake 5 minutes before dinner.
-
I would def wake her, no way I'm doing a 10pm bedtime!
-
I'm a super schedule person so I'd probably wake her right away. lol I need her to be in bed by or before 8 or I'll start to lose it.
-
@gingerbebe: me too.
-
@gingerbebe: lol! Me too. Hahaha
-
@gingerbebe: Hahaha, I've totally done the same on quite a few car rides home. Nothing more terrible than a 10 minute car nap and he's done!
-
Depends, what time is it? Like an hour or two before bedtime I would wake right away.
-
@Freckles: @gingerbebe: @Applesandbananas: hahaha you made me laugh, thank you.
It was 5:30pm when I posted that. I let her sleep until 6. She was groggy until 7. Asleep for bed by 8:30. It worked out okay. I think she was just exhausted from an emotional week and I found out she didn't nap at daycare that day. So, it was kind of expected - warm car ride home.
