This sounds so familiar! The only solution that I can think of is to go to bed earlier yourself, which is no fun when the kids are asleep and you have the night to yourself. (I tell myself every night that I will go to bed earlier...hasn't happened yet.)
You could slip them some dramamine at about 6 am. That way they will sleep well into the afternoon ;p
It could be worse. Mine go to bed around 7:30 and sleep till 7:15 or 7:30. Andie doesn't take naps either. YOU just need to go to bed eariler! I am usually in bed by 9:30 or 10:00 every night. That helps me - good luck!
Why would I want to go to bed at 10?? That is usually when Pat gets home anyway, I need some time with my husband :) And Mara decided to fall asleep this afternoon while sitting at the counter. So far it's been a nice 2 hours :)
Sabrina use to sleep in till 10:00 when she was a baby. Then it was 9:00. Now it is 6:45-7:00. Luckily she gets up and goes and watches t.v. by herself. Although now I usually drag myself out of bed at 7:00 so I can have some time before Kailey gets up (at 9:00). Good luck!
Here is another it could be worse scenario: You could have to get up every morning at 6:30 to get ready for work!

I Do!!!!!!My kids seem to think that they don't! They go to bed at a regular time everynight, between 8 & 8:30 and they are waking up anywhere from 6:45-7:30!! Mara doesn't nap anymore and I know she needs more sleep then that, because she has been sitting in my lap and falling asleep in the afternoons!! I guess I'm just not ready to get up that early. I love being able to stay in bed until 8, because I'm not going to bed until 11:30 or 12!!!! What can I do to get my kids to sleep in??? It's making them and me cranky!! And this has only been the past few weeks too. They used to get up between 7:30 and 8, which I can work with. It's amazing how that extra 30 to 45 minutes can make a world of difference.
