[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.morning duties (breakfast, getting kids to wake up, helping with clothes, reminding them to brush teeth, hair, put on shoes, mask, grab a jacket if it's cold, driving them to school) - the kids have an alarm in their room and they get up with it. they set their clothes out the night before and we don't help. They don't need to be reminded to brush teeth or put on shoes. They can make their own breakfast, but if DH or I are making a smoothie or eggs we'll ask if anyone else wants what we're already making. Either DH or I, or the nanny do their hair. DH or Nanny takes them to school.

2. bedtime duties (some nights bath time, stories, tuck in, request for snacks, drinks, and sometimes staying up with your child longer if they cant fall asleep right away). We would NEVER stay with our kids until they fall asleep. We never even did that when they were babies. DH or I will start the shower so the temp is right, but then they go in one after another. We remind them to take water up to their room if they want it. When they were little and ate dinner way before DH and I did, DH would start cooking OUR dinner while I got them ready for bed and then he'd go in to say goodnight while I set the table and such. But now that the kids are older and we all eat together we have them shower when dinner prep starts. DH will usually go tuck them in while I clean up from dinner, then we switch.[/quote]

OMG how old are your kids? This is the dream.[/quote]
