[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent, you need to get it together. You need to get her dressed and out the door on time. I would worry about it less because of the school’s rules and more because it makes it social harder for her to feel like she is throw in late and unprepared each day.

I hated school. I always hated school. The rules were nonsense and the rewards were dumb. I love work. The rules are still nonsense but I know that I can play by them enough to get what I want and I really like a monetary reward.

My oldest is rising 1st grader. I had no issues getting him to school on time and prepared. That’s my responsibility. His personality is nothing like mine so I am not worried about how he will handle the rules that I can’t/don’t really believe in either. My baby is my clone. That one is going to be a delicate negotiation to get him through school. But that’s my job as his parent. [/quote]

The thing is, while I can get [i]myself [/i]everywhere on time (early, even), I can't get DH and the kids anywhere. It's constant cajoling and threatening and waking up two hours early. And even then, it's not always enough. It's so much responsibility with horrible penalties if I fail, but I don't have control over anyoe but myself, so what can I do?[/quote]

Get them up 3 hours early.

Make it happen.  Get you DC to kindergarten on time.  You can do it.[/quote]
