"I don't want bath! I want read book!"

"Noooooooo!"

"No! No I want baaaaath!"

This time around, my wife and I simply decided "fuck DST" and shifted our entire schedule forward an hour. No change in sleep for anyone. It was glorious.

Obviously not gonna work when the kids start school, though.

I'm sure your kids won't mind arriving an hour late to school every day :D

I'd say they are old enough to handle it by then (mostly). One hour less sleep is less dramatic when they are six compared to two.
