    I just go about my morning.. Angie sleeps through it all anyway. Same when its the other way round. Harry sleeps through whatever they throw up on school mornings.

    You'll be surprised, she'll probably sleep through it anyway. Mine will sleep through an earthquake.

    Yeah, mine will sleep through almost anything too... the vacuum cleaner, DH trying to muster up help in the garden, my 5yo yelling at my 2yo to stop being a baby just meters from her door.... but strangely the sound of fluffy pancakes being served onto warmed plates seems to rouse her every time

    I have two teenage step sons (15 and 16 years) and two little ones (4 years and 2 3/4 years) with a third on the way.

    The 2 step sons and DS`s #1 and #2 all sleep in the same room (we`re in a 2 bedroom house), the DSS`s learn to sleep through their younger brothers waking up and making a lot of noise in the house, there is no way DH and I will tiptoe around the place just so DSS`s can sleep but they sleep through the noise anyway.

    Fiona - I think there's a very easy (and cheap solution) to this issue:

    EAR PLUGS.

    Seriously. You provide the earplugs, and she then has a choice to apply them when she wants to sleep. Or not. You are then empowered to make whatever noise you like with impunity.
