My wife needs to leave our house at 7:30 to be at work at 8:00. She doesn't want up until no early than 6:50 and then I have to fight with her to get her butt out of bed. I am a teacher and have the summer off, but am up at 6:00, and showered and dressed by 6:30. Any ideas on how I can get her up with out fighting with her every single morning.

I had the same problem with my husband. The best thing you can do is to make her do it herself. I just starting setting the alarm in the morning and leaving. Tell her you're taking up jogging or something like that. Once she learns that you will not keep waking her up, that she has to do it herself, she'll get up just fine. Trust me on this one.

Tell your wife she must be responsible for waking up in the morning and getting to work on time. Suggest she use an alarm clock to wake her, rather than you fighting with her to get her out of bed in the mornings.
The idea of her using an alarm clock rather than you waking her may cause issues. However, if she doesn't want to use an alarm clock to wake her, and the result is she ends up being late for work a few times, i am sure the problem will correct itself.

do one thing. let her get up late one morning and then she will be late for work. let her bear the brunt of not being able to get up on time. she will come to her senses automatically and you wont even have to wake her up. otherwise get a alarm which has a really loud sound and leave it at that. if she is not worried of getting late then why are you ?? let her be late for a few days and then everything will be fine. just try it. all the best.

I had the exact same problem with my husband. He kept expecting me to fight with him to wake him up every day.
Finally, I simply told him: "It's your job at risk and your responsibility. If you want to be late, so be it. Be late. I am no longer going to wake you up, because it's not my job to be an alarm clock."
He was suddenly completely responsible for waking himself up! He started setting an alarm clock and (after a few failures, during which he finally realized that I really will NOT wake him up), he started waking up when the alarm rang and getting ready on time.
In fact, he is now in charge of waking ME up in the morning, because I now wake up later than him.... :-)

i'm sorry you're in this occasion. yet, I kinda get the place your spouse is coming from. It seems such as you're being a splash of a wimp. My address that's that ladies human beings like it whilst a guy "takes administration." (interior of bounds, of direction) do no longer ask in case you are able to hug. guy up. do exactly it. in case you hug her and he or she rejects you, then that's something for the marriage counselor to decide. sounds like there is passive aggressive habit on the two areas. that's the worst sort, i think of, on the grounds which you won't have the ability to circulate forward in existence once you're frightened approximately preserving your self. attempt to no longer be so wrapped up in her reaction to you - save your concentration on your self. that's the only element you are able to administration. stable success.

I think "how" you are woke up means everything. When I was a kid, and didn't want to get up for school, my mom would sing to me, from the other room. Just made up the words as she went along.... No matter what she sang ( always sounded sweet to me) it put me in the mood to wake, and be happy... :))

I would say if she is getting to work on time leave it alone. Some people are just not early risers.

Tell her you have errands to run and to set her alarm clock....then leave...when she wakes up late it's on her....you're not her dad (unless you live in West Virginia or something...lol)

there are persons who are morning people and there are
night people... and maybe she wants to spend more time with you. or do you want her out of the house so you can do other
things in your summer time...

Why do you want her to get up when you want?
Let her live her own life!!!
And if you cant see her sleeping peacefully then you should also sleep some more!
