I can't the the boys to go to bed at a decent hour

[MissMillie]

Ok, so they're 19... and they're grown up enough to decide on their own when to go to bed.

The problem is that they keep waking me up. Last night it was 1:15, the night before it was 3:20 (after KEEPING me up until 1:00).

I want to get up early every day and go to the gym, but I'm not getting any sleep, so I'm having a hard time getting out of bed.

I've pretty much decided to move out and leave them to their own devices (not JUST because of this, but this is part of it) but that won't happen until March or April. I don't know what to do in the meantime.

This is really messing w/ my good humor.

1. maybe they should move out! ;)

I'd lay down the law. It's not fair to you....

2. Wake them up in the morning and bring them to the gym

Eventually they'll get tuckered out

3. I would wake them up in the morning. LOUDLY.

If asking them nicely to go to bed, or at least be quiet at a decent hour isn't working, then it's time to give them a dose of their own medicine. They aren't respectful of you - why should you allow them to sleep? ;-)

4. Crush a little Ambien into their Mt Dew? kidding ...

you should keep the Ambien for yourself.
