Normality
Autumn
Normal people: The clocks are going back, yay! An extra hour to sleep! :)
People with children: The clocks are going back! Now when he wakes up, the clock will say 5am, not 6am. *eek*
Spring
Normal people: The clocks are going forward, one less hour to sleep! :(
People with children: The clocks are going forward, yay! Now when he wakes up at 6am, the clocks will actually say 7am - time for nursery!
But reality is more complicated anyway, because there is also early sunrise and the dratted dawn chorus. :)
