[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A half hour to eat seems luxurious if you're trying to streamline. How old are your kids? [/quote]

Kids are 4 and 7.  They mostly get ready on their own with some encouragement.  I still need to do the 4 year old's hair.  Possible we could streamline the breakfast/lunch prep by having both parents working on that while the kids are getting themselves ready.

The 30 minutes to eat does seem awfully long, but even with that, it seems like we're always rushing the kids to finish up and get out the door. I guess the bright side is that our kids like to sit at the table and chat...[/quote]

I think you either need to shorten breakfast (it takes &lt;10 minutes to eat some scrambled eggs and toast) OR just appreciate the chatty, long breakfasts and enjoy them. Maybe wake everyone up 10 minutes sooner if you're feeling crunched.

Your kids are older than mine so maybe this doesn't work anymore but sometimes we have our 4 and 2 year old sleep in their clothes. Especially in the summer when it's just t shirts and running shorts half the time anyway. [/quote]
