I grew up in Arizona we did not participate in Daylight Savings time. Then I moved to Missouri. We started to push clocks forward and back an hour. It really wasn't that big of a deal except you had to remember to do it.
NOW I have kids. Daylight Savings time can kiss my butt! The kids are crabby an hour and a half now before bed time and they are still getting up at what they think is 6:30 but is really 5:30!
Colin is having the hardest time adjusting. He can't make it all night and has to take a power nap before dinner which then we have to wake him up from to eat and he gets mad and is a crab for the rest of the night. He then is awake so early that he is way tired by nap time.
Last night we tried to power through without the nap before dinner, but he ended up sick over night so now we are back to where we were a few days ago.
Alyssa is doing a little better but she is up super early which makes her a crab by about 5:30 and fighting over dinner is getting super old. I'm hoping by this weekend we can get them back on a better schedule.
All I can say is this is NO fun! The only people that got an extra hour of sleep are those people that don't have young kids.
