what would you do?

im debating on whether to set my daughters alarm for school in the morning.

this morning my 8yo daughter wasnt feeling well, but went to school. i of course gave her the option and typical of her, she didnt want to miss school. she got off the bus and just felt crummy. no fever, but a stomach ache and a head ache. i gave her tylanol then motrin and she went to bed.

would you let her wake up naturally or set her alarm? if we dont set her alarm we will most likely be late for school, but she will have had a better nights sleep. if we set it she will get to school on time, which is what she prefers, but shell be a bit cranky. and of course the school doesnt want them late.
of course its possible shell wake up and not want to go to school.

What I would do is make the decision on my own without input - but since you asked....for me it would be business as usual until I know its not going to be...so I would get up regular time and see how things are progressing.

If overnight things change (she becomes ill or feverish) I would change my plan of attack at that time.

I would set MY alarm, not hers,, arise in the morning, & go feel her head. If she doesn't feel well, then I would keep her home (she may need a day of rest)....too bad if she wants to go. Eight year olds don't get to make the important decisions.

I completely agree here. See how things are looking in the morning and decide then. You are the mom...you make the decision
