OK, this has nothing to do with anything going on in our relationship/marriage, etc. (at least I don't think so lol), but curious what your thoughts are.
My 12 year old son is a really good, easy child. (Was NOT always this way.....total opposite from birth to age 6). Lying is not a problem with him and he never gets in trouble at school, etc. Well, rarely and it's just for goofing off.
Anyway, whenever he sleeps in on the weekends or days off, he ALWAYS lies and tells me, when he finally gets up, that he's been awake since like 5 or 6 a.m., just lounging in bed until he gets up at like 10. He has no reason to lie. He never gets in trouble for sleeping in, he is not difficult to get up and out the door on school mornings, etc. Why in the world does he do this? This morning (day off school) he went as far to tell me he was laying there for hours with his eyes closed, but he was awake. I KNOW he's sleeping because I check on him!!
His dad and I are both early risers and have very strong work ethics, even around the house on the weekends, but we never ever pressure our kids to get up early unless it's a school day. Weekends are for sleeping in (if you're able to).
