[quote=Anonymous]Mom of three little kids and we have to get out of the door by 7:15 every morning. Kids are 10,9,4. Husband is away during the week, no nanny or family to help. I cannot figure out the balance of having more time or less time. It seems like no matter what, we are rushing. If I wake them up early, then it seems like there’s more time for them to make a big breakfast mess, start a game that I have to pull them away from, or settle into an activity that I have to pull them away from even if it’s a TV show. And no matter what, it seems like it takes the four-year-old about 15 or 20 minutes to get out the door. I would love to know how people do it. Do you have rewards? Consequences? Do you wake up at 5 AM and get yourself fully ready so by the time the kids get up at 6:30 you can just focus on them? My nervous system can’t take it anymore. I feel like I’m just yelling at everyone for a solid hour. [/quote]
