Poll: Do/did your parents let you sleep in during the Summer?

today i got up around 3 and my brother got up around 6:30 both of them being pm btw so yes i can sleep in all i want.
I avoid this situation by putting a lock on my door and sleeping with an ipod. They can't barge in and wake me up, ipod drowns out their voices. I sleep in till noon just about every day when I don't sleep till 2:00 PM.
I woke up at almost 5 in the afternoon.
I can't help it. I am a proactive night person.
I went and got my family take out from a place that was a 30 minute drive there and back, and then I did everyone's laundry and dishes.
If I wake up at 7, I'm gonna feel sick and be in a terrible mood for the rest of the day. Why should I wake up early?

My dad was doing this thing where he'd make me get up at around 9:30 AM on weekdays, but he didn't stick to it for very long. I made it clear that I was completely against it, and I think he decided to not force me. Most days, I've been sleeping in until whenever I've wanted (on days I don't have work, church, or whatever).
I have a hard time getting up. I'd like to be able to get up at around 10:30 AM, but I always end up sleeping until around 12:30 PM to after 2:00 PM. The reason I'd like to be able to get up earlier is because so much of the day wastes away when you sleep in.
Something I'd like to vent about is how my parents tell me I have to be home by a certain time. They say that they worry. I'm 20, but it doesn't feel like I'm being treated like I'm 20. They also say that it wakes them up when I come home late, but I found a way to fix that: I could go home through the basement and sleep there. However, they still don't like it because they apparently worry.
Anyway, it doesn't seem like you're a lazy person at all; you go to school and carry out chores. And you're looking for jobs. I think your parents should let you sleep in.

Oy, that sounds rough. I think as far back as middle school my Mom was letting me stay up as late as I wanted during the summer. Now I live with a friend, soooooo...yeah, I pretty much do what I want. I still try to get to bed at a decent time, though.
Even during the school year, I could usually sneak out if it was late and I wasn't tired, though. Have you tried having a friend's parents talk some sense into yours? This has to be killing your social life.
Or, you know, does your Mom not care about that and only gave birth to you so she could have a slave?

The problem here is that you have put zero effort into actually trying to get a job or go driving. You are not paying for room and board at your parents' house, and you're rude to everyone. You seem to think you are entitled to behave like a child and then be treated like an adult. Maybe if you had done anything to prove that you were okay to sleep in, you would have been allowed to. Instead you are rude to your parents and sister and completely ungrateful for being allowed to live at their house. Instead of sitting on the internet all day, try and get up to do the work for once. I assure you that if you are more helpful around the house which you are living in RENT FREE, your parents will be more lenient with you. Also, I printed out a copy of this post. Don't insult me on the internet if you don't expect me to find it, "owyn."
My parents did let my sister and I sleep in during the summertime. So on most days during the summer from late elementary school up to the summer before my senior year of high school it wasn't uncommon for me to sleep until 12:30 or 1:00 in the afternoon. Now, I can't sleep in past 9:30 for some reason regardless of what time I actually fall asleep.
But up until 4 years ago, I spent a couple of weeks of my summer at my grandparent's house in another state, and my grandfather (a diehard mountainman) was very much an early riser, and if he was up, you were going to be up too. He used to come into mine and my sister's room at 7:00 in the morning shouting, "Come on, come on, rise and shine, asses and elbows! This is not a retirement home for lazy teens, let's go!" One time he even dragged me out of bed by my toes.

I'm not one for sleeping in, but my parents are th sort not to mind so much as I was up to help out with any chores that needed done. But one less mouth to fix breakfast for, they were all for that!
Also note, I had a summer job working for my real father since I was 13, so I still had to wake for that.

unfortunately I have sleep onset insomnia, which means getting to sleep is difficult for me.
I was blessed however with a mom who is a teacher, so she's usually out of the house before I am even semi-alert. However in the summer she is also on holiday.
She usually leaves me to sleep in because she knows about the insomnia but sometimes I get woken up if she wants house work help or something. To give this some context I've had this since I was about 13 so that's 6 years and my mom has usually been understanding ( I live in a single parent house hold).
Im off to uni in September though so I guess it won't matter soon :L
