Oh,my favorite is when the bottom half of your body has made it off the bed,and those little eyes pop open,so you snuggle the top half of your body up close hoping they won’t notice your hanging off the bed.And pretend you’re asleep,because if they think you are awake——they are never going back to sleep.

been there with 1, but not with two. at the risk of offering unsolicited advice: just keeping a messy mash of 2 or more blankets on the bed can help ... you get 1 blankie onto each kid before starting escape maneuvers, and then there’s that slinking off while hermetically sealing off the child.

shimmying up the middle, though—that sounds like a tough maneuver. Must be a killer abs workout!

Oh yes, I’ve been there.  Every morning, in fact.  My husband wakes up first and escapes, leaving me to try to get out without waking one of two girls.  It’s like that monkey game or the Dr. game - if I make one wrong move, the whole thing collapses, and I am stuck with one or two limpets, unable to shower, make/eat breakfast, make lunch, get dressed, etc.  And my husband wonders why I can’t be as productive as he is in the mornings!

Do like me.  Sleep in the bathtub with the door locked!

I’m glad to hear that this happens in other people’s houses.  LOL!  We call it musical beds around here.

I remember this!  Sometimes a quick hop out of bed works.  But a break-away duvet would be really helpful too.

As one with no kids, I only had to try getting up without waking a dog, but I hope everyone in the house feels better soon!

If you can get away with it, put them under the sheet and then you lie on top of the sheet and then the blanket goes over all of you. It prevents having to move the cover closest to them when you make the break.

When in twin bed with 1 kids, I have perfected the 360 degree logroll out of the bed. It minimizes north south blanket movement, but you have to be careful on the landing.

You need a ceiling hoist that will deliver you to the coffee maker….that would be cool.
