I've had the experience of both types of mom's Katt. My mom doesn't wake me up (even when I ask), especially when I was home on college break. She said she believes it is my vacation, and if I want to "sleep it away" that is my choice. So when I would visit her, I would set my alarm if I wanted up, or had plans.

On the other hand, my hubby's mom was opposite. If we went there to visit, she made sure we were up by 9:30 at the latest. Well...she made sure hubby was up. I got to sleep. Not being related by blood pays off! Hehe. Usually she woke him up between 7 and 8. Personally, I resented it.

I don't have any advice.....but I feel your pain. I hope it gets better. And I say...sleep `til you want. It's your life. But it's up to you if you want to fight that battle.
