When the kids hit their teens, and are even crankier ... I think it would be ironic if you and Joe burst into their rooms and woke them up rudely at 2 or 3 AM, just as payback.
It would probably be construed as child abuse, but think how wonderful you'd feel.
OTOH ... when the kids are all going to school, think how much fun you WILL have (legally) getting them up early and telling them, "YOU woke ME up at 4 AM every goddamn morning, so I'm returning the favor today at 6:30. GET UP!"
Of course, it may be hard to tell them this while you're laughing.
I distinctly remember a Christmas morning when I was in high school, when I was at my Dad's house, I had stayed up all night talking and playing games with him. At 5 AM he had the brilliant idea of waking everyone else up based on the excuse "You used to get up for presents at this time!! Get out of bed!"
