late sleeping teens

[ruby molloy]

apart from setting the house on fire or throwing water over them...anyone got ideas on lazy teenage boys and how to get them out of bed?

[McNoodle]

Just take their quilts - bed becomes a lot less appealing when you've nothing to pull over you.

Other than that you've just got to get physical...

picket the Royal Mail to get an attractive post lady. They'll be up early then

What they dont do for you because they slept in late - doesnt get done for them.

Let them cook, clean and shop for themselves - then they'll soon want to get up in time

good luck

As the mother of kids who get up around 6am I think Id just enjoy the peace and quiet in the mornings!

I have a lazy teenage girl.
I draw the curtains,let the sunlight hit her ,after a few minutes of moaning like a vampire,she wakes up!! If that doesn't work try throwing the dog or cat on them!!

Try vaccuming round them while playing opera.
Cold water works too.
Open the curtains.
Take away a prized possession for every 10 minutes they don't get up after you call, hide them somewhere good.
Cook bacon, the smell works for me every time.
Wait until the weekend then go on strike, no washing his clothes, cooking etc when he asks why tell him you want to be a layabout like him.
If possible tell him each time he doesn't get up you are going to turn up at his work/school/friends house/club in curlers and the worst clothes you can find and tell everyone you're his mum and do it the embarrassment alone should stop him.

on second thoughts,let sleeping teenages lie,they're nicer unconcious.
