The whole toutine takes 1.5 hours including going to school. This is for a 7 year old only child.  Bath, pack lunch and book bag happens the night before[/quote]

Is this a real answer?  Ours is currently-
Alarms go off, I'm the only one who actually gets up
Arguing over the necessity of school/waking up ensues
Everyone gets dressed while moaning loudly about whyyyy 
I yell that we're leaving in 15 minutes and if you're not ready, you're losing screen time 
15 minutes pass and I just hope everyone has brushed their teeth
We get in the car hoping everyone has shoes and I toss a granola bar at each person 
from the box I keep in the car

Also hoping for a better routine for 2023...

Sounds about right over here. I'm going to assume the pp was joking.

Specifically, I wake up at 6:30 and waste time on my phone until close to 7. Then I get up, get lunches in backpacks and make oatmeal. Sometimes I've prepped the oatmeal the night before and just need to heat it. Often I'm lazy and then regret it in the morning when I have to do more than set the microwave. I shower and get the kids up by 7:30 if they're not up yet. I set them up for failure by expecting them to both eat and get dressed "first". Need to fix that. Usually they eat in PJs, I try to hurry them along and get dressed, and if they have a moment to spare that get involved with a toy or book and then I'm yelling to get shoes and coats etc on. Winter especially is so hard. We're out the door by 8:20 and walking to school for 8:30 drop off. [/quote]
