Seriously.
It's just not worth it people. Let time be what it will. Stick with it. I like long, bright days as much as the next guy. I love the sunshine, but until recently most of the world put on their big people pants and deal with the seasons as they come. Now, mothers in 70 countries have to deal with confused, sleep deprived children.
Emily is 15, and it still messes her up. Big time. Yesterday she woke up fussy and feeling bad. We took her to school late and cuddled her extra. After only 2 1/2 hours at school I got an email telling me she didn't feel well and refused to work. I picked her up, brought her home, where she crashed for a two hour nap. She seemed to feel better after that, but woke up today out of sorts again. I kept her home, just to try to smooth over one more day.
Even in the fall, with the extra hour, we deal with schedule confusion. Emily doesn't handle change well, so twice a year we hold, adapt, and slowly change schedules.
I have been a mother for almost 20 years now, and I can say emphatically, I hate time changes. I don't understand why most people on the planet consider them a necessary evil, because to me, and my child, it is simply evil. :/
Can I get an Amen?
