Daylights Savings as a Parent

Extra hour of sleep? Are you kidding me?!?!I remember the days when I used to look forward to Daylight Savings Time in the fall because we'd get that extra hour of sleep, but after I had kids I started dreading Daylight Savings Time.

My kids don't understand that it's an hour earlier and they should keep sleeping, we just get up at 5am instead of 6am! Aye Aye Aye! I remember it messing up their nap schedules when they were babies and then they don't want to go to bed at night when they are supposed to. Daylight Savings Time always messed with our routine for about a month and like I said, that "extra hour of sleep" went out the window!

I've never found anything that worked to trick my kids into sleeping in that extra hour, including putting them to bed late. (They went to bed at 11 last night and were up at 5am this morning according to the "new time!")
