The likelihood that he will be completely exhausted on Sunday evening is imminent. I remember how tired I was after playing a 3-day soccer tournament as a youngster. At the moment he is sleeping but we have promised to wake him up at 12 p.m.
We have always let him sleep. Our motto is "if he sleeps, he needs to sleep". When the offspring went to kindergarten, he was one of the few children who was allowed to sleep as much as he wanted. Other parents wanted their children to be woken up for the snack. Not because the children would eat, but because they would be tired in the evening.
We were only happy if we got some extra time with Junior in the evening. Now that he is a teenager and can literally sleep all day and night, we have to stop ourselves from waking him up. We still want to spend all our time with him. Unfortunately, it's not mutual anymore...
