Anytime between 5- 7AM. Most usually 5:30 or 6AM. I voted 6AM.

Somewhere between 4 and 6, usually about 5ish. Thats when the baby gets up. The two year old gets up 630-7ish.

It's 7 am for us these days!

I have one in school and two at home homeschooling so I first get up at 6:30 and get dd off to school,then back to bed till 8:30 or 9. Not in the spring and summer though,it's too nice and bright to sleep in.

Well, usually between 7 and 9, I voted 9. However lately I have the littlest two up all night, ALL night. Then they finally go to sleep in the early AM, and then the big kids wake up. So, I'm dozing on the couch till noon. Sucks right now, let me tell you.

ETA: we have been night owl's since before kids.

Right now I generally have to nurse at 6am but then I usually get another hour of sleep before the "mommy will you go downstairs with me" starts. Much of the time I can get another hour somehow but it isn't really sleep, it is more being in bed with a toddler whinning at me.

Six months ago we didn't wae up until 9am which was wonderful. When she was a baby we routinely slept till 11am or so. I have never been one to get out of bed before my wee one, that's for sure.

It's just DD and I, so I get up when she does, which is usually around 8:00 am. When she was younger, though, we sometimes made it to 10 am.

Other because it varies from week to week. This week it has been around 9 AM because I went to sleep around 3 AM.

We're just not morning people in this house. Then again, all of you 6am-ers probably can't imagine your dc's going to bed at midnight or later, I'm guessin'.
lol, DS usually goes to bed around midnight (he was up until after 1am last night; I didn't get to sleep until after 2am) but I still got up at 6:30am. Yeah, I'm tired. I figure someday the kids will be old enough to go to bed without me . I'm not a morning person but it's the only time I'm able to go to the gym (which may be closing in a couple of weeks then I'll go back to sleeping in...probably until about 7 or 8.

i am far from a morning person!!! i struggled so much as a kid and in school because of this too. id go to bed early but i still would not be awake and functional until about 1030am-11am, and by then, ive been a zombie through 2-3 classes. i was lucky that DD was not a morning person too. we never set schedules with her and really just went by her schedule. it fit with ours.

DD starts getting ready for bed at 10-ish. we cuddle in her bed reading books for a bit, and usually say good night between 1045-1130, depending on when we really started getting ready. she normally gets up around 11ish, but tolerates if we have to get up earlier for something occassionally.

I marked 8, although its usually between 7:30 and 7:45. If I'm not up by 8, DS will be late for school.

Me too exactly! On the weekends we all sleep until about 11am though
post #34 of 79
I need multiple choice. Sometimes ds wakes in the 7am hour and sometimes in the 8am hour. Very rarely I get to sleep till 9, but not much after!
post #35 of 79
My son wakes up between 7 and 8 am, so that's when we get up for the day.

Yeah, it's the same exact thing for myself & dd. I mean, I think I could have written that. It was worse when I worked a full-time fluctuating schedule. I could be at work as late as midnight (occasionally later), or as early as 6.30a. Often both in the same week. I'm so glad I don't do that anymore. Although I do work on night a week until about midnight, and I have no trouble with that.

usually 6 or 6:30
post #38 of 79
I voted 8 because I usually don't get going until then. Ds and dd wake up around 6:45-7:00, which wakes me, but then dh watches them until he has to start getting ready for work at about 7:30. That's when I get my second wake up.
post #39 of 79
Usually about 9:30. I love staying up late and we usually have nowhere to go in the morning.
post #40 of 79
I'm usually up sometime between 8:00 and 8:30. DS gets up between 6:45 and 7:30, but DP gets up with him. She then gets me up for breakfast a little later. Hooray!
