@LukeAlmighty >sleeping until eleven
How long was this kid staying up at night? No really, this sounds worse than you realize. Was the kid physically ill or something?
AND YES, WOMEN HAVE NO PROBLEMS SEEING SOMETHING BOYS AND MEN MADE, AND DISMISSING IT BECAUSE WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE WORLD'S WRONGS!
That kid is gonna hate her forever and rightfully so.
@AngryWraith @LukeAlmighty >How long was this kid staying up at night? No really, this sounds worse than you realize.
Yeah if we're talking pre-teen or even below 10, this is actually real bad.

@BowsacNoodle @AngryWraith @LukeAlmighty Yeah, the kid is nine. How late was he staying up? And why the hell wasn’t the mother doing anything about him staying up late?

Yes, she’s bitching about him not waking up, but he’s a 9-year-old. It’s her job as a parent to fix this. Maybe start by moving the computer to the living room? Making sure that he goes to bed at a reasonable time? Make sure that he doesn’t have a cell phone that he can be on until 3:00 in the morning?

No, act like a giant fucking bitch and smash his digital Legos. That kid’s going to be 40 years old, and telling his kids, “Well, when I was your age, Grandma decided to destroy something that I spent over a year on just because I didn’t do exactly as she told me to.”

And that’s why I don’t leave you alone with her.

As a guy with serious sleeping problems, this hit me really hard.

But... I used to wake up an hour even earlier, just to have time for my brain to start up. I also learned to have multiple alarm clocks. In more desperate times, I left the alarm clock across the room, so I have to actually stand up.

THERE ARE SO MANY ADVICE THE KID NEEDS TO HEAR AND TRY. But sure, trauma is the correct choice.

When I am drunk before work, I prepare myself coffee and breakfest in the evening, instead of in the morning, because I know, it will be needed.

Fuck, let him drink coffee if it's that bad. But your role as a parent is to help him form coping strategies FFS.
