What REALLY grinds your gears?

Or waking up at like 1-2am, cuz I end up falling back asleep around 5, and my alarm goes off at 5:30. How I wish I could just sleep 7-8 hours straight and feel refreshed, but that rarely if ever happens.

To be honest, it's been a really long time since I've woken up, feeling totally refreshed. Like I'm always a little beat in the mornings, then around 9:30 I'm good until around 3.

I'll sit at home, watch TV and around 9 be like, "ZOMG! I'm sooo tired, let's go lay in bed." Then I lay in bed and watch movies until around midnight or 1. I wish I could go back to the days of college where I slept until noon and it was the most glorious sleep of all time.

Wait until some of you guys have kids. You will look back on your sleep problem now with joy.

Got two, CRed has three. Trust me, general insomnia like we have is like having a 3 month olds who never grow up.

I was not picking on you. They know who they are.

I have a 5 yr old and she pretty much has been sleeping through the night for the past four years. If she did wake up it was the wifes job to get up not mine. I'm the king of my Castle.

You know what grinds my gears? People who bitch about not getting any sleep because they have kids. Try losing two within a year, that'll keep you up all night. Would you rather stay up all night because of that?

Ouch.

Sorry dude, you are right. My son has a lot of sleep disorders that I have talked about before so when I am up all night I try to think of folks at St. Judes and how how much they would love to be in my shoes.

For the record I was not bitching about it I was just saying if you think you have it tough sleeping now try it with kids.

Also, I don't feel guilty about complaining about my kids from time to time, I don't know a parent that doesn't. Doesn't mean I don't want them, doesn't mean I don't love them with everything I have and sure as heck doesn't lessen your pain if I complain about them or not.

I don't know how lashing out at other parents eases your pain but if it does you are welcome to pick on me.

Fair enough. Sorry, shouldn't have taken the thread in that direction. Back to the lighter things that grind our gears
