Every morning I wake up my daughter between 6am and 6:30am. I take her to school early so she can do band practice before school starts. We are supposed to be out of the house by 7:20 or so because her band practice starts at 7:30. There is another session she goes to that starts at 8, so it is not that important we get her there at 7:30 sharp.
Yesterday morning she didn’t come down until about 7:55am. That was after me yelling up the stairs a few times for her to get moving.
She takes a shower every morning, she would rather not, although we tried the shower at night deal and she would practically go to school sleeping everyday. The showers, at the very least, wake her up.
I told her yesterday that she needed to be down every morning at 7:15 or else she would be grounded that night. I honestly thought she would just make it down by 7:15, because she is typically goofing off and that is why she runs late.
Today she didn’t come downstairs until about 7:35.
I told her she was grounded for 20 minutes tonight. And I will tell her when the 20 minutes start. I needed to be somewhat stern because she really needs to get moving in the morning and with about an hour to get ready, for a 10 year old, shouldn’t be asking for that much.
I told her tomorrow I will wake her up 20 minutes earlier so she has that extra time to make it down by 7:15.
I hope she makes it. I really don’t like grounding her over something so silly.
