So recently my grandma has been using different ways to wake me up, she used to stand at the bottom of my stairs and yell up, but now she comes Into my room and smacks me repeatedly until I wake up. The thing is, I'm a light sleeper. I have no difficulty waking up in the mornings either. She just hits me on my arm, back, or back of the head and screams "Are you awake now?" In my face. Im not allowed an alarm clock because they're "too loud and will wake the whole house". I'm not allowed my phone in my room so I can't set a quiet alarm on that. My grandma waking me up is the only option I have, and she does it every single day (excluding Friday nights and Saturday nights because on weekends I'm at my aunts, other grandma's or mom's) so is my grandma hitting me like that considered abuse or am I overreacting?
I would say yes. Alarm clocks are loud, yes. But not allowing your phone in your room when it has an alarm where you can adjust the volume for light sleepers it seems like it has to do with control rather than the main reason of getting you up on time. If it’s making you uncomfortable and it can be painful then I would say, yes. She can yell from the stairs but you can’t have an alarm clock? Something’s off.
