My nearly 15yo DD has two younger, very noisy, brothers aged 2 and 5. But she doesn't tend to sleep in for that long... 9.30am at the latest, on weekends. But often the boys will rise before 7 so on the weekends she just deals with it I guess... like another person mentioned: she seems to sleep like a log. Her bedroom is off our foyer... then it's only a few steps into our lounge-room. Our house has wooden floor boards throughout, except the bedrooms too. I often get up early myself and head out (usually to the city) of a weekend so if there are any dramas i guess i miss them! LOL I suspect what happens is that the boys wake up... wander out to the lounge... or wake DD who then gets up, puts on Thomas The tank Engine for them... then she makes use of the time that I am not there to make norty breakfast like French toast saturated in maple syrup etc (which apparently she often feeds the boys too)... Dh seems to often get a sleep in. Everyone is alive when i get back mid afternoon... so life goes on LOL
You are very considerate... we seem to have a way of working around our boys noise I guess... to a large extent.... and DD knows well all the strategies of getting them to keep quiet herself. She has to if she wants a bit of peace and quiet on the laptop before Dad gets up!
