[quote=Anonymous]OP: I have a9 yr old who got so many tardy slips, the principal called. So here's what I did;
1. Sat down with ADHD spouse and had the talk with them about how important this was and they couldn't undermine the getting to school on time thing.
2. We all wake up 15 minutes earlier (and spouse 30 min earlier).
3. Made a schedule. Spouse is supposed to make breakfast but doesn't half the time so I do it all in the am.
4. I ensure they are both out the door on time before waking and dealing with second ADHD kid. 
5. I get dressed/ready while #2 is getting ready. Yes, I can do it in 30 min so by the time I need to force him out the door, I'm ready to go. 
6. I arrive at work at 9:30.

If I had to be there for 9, I am not sure what I'd do. I guess I'd wake up earlier, get ready earlier and leave ADHD spouse and child to get to second school on time which they wouldn't and it would all fall apart.

Good luck. You've just got to try stuff and unfortunatly, you might have to do more and sleep less.[/quote]
