[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a single Mom of 7.5 year old twin boys. Not easy. Only thing that works for me is to be like a general; keep the schedule! I wake them up, put their clothing out, tell them to get dressed. Ask them what they want for breakfast, and prepare that while they get dressed. While they are having their breakfast, I prepare their lunch boxes and maybe have a bite myself. I send them to brush their teeth, put their shoes on and while they are doing that, I get myself ready. I feel like I am herding sheep the entire time; but that's the only way we can get out on time. Good luck.[/quote]

Do as much as you can the night before.  Lunch boxes can be packed with most things the night before.  I used to put sandwich fixings in a baggie and in morning just put sandwich together.  Fruit, etc already in lunch box.  Clothes laid out.

I agree you have to be a General.  Backpacks at front door.  Strict bedtimes.  Good luck.  As they get older, it does get easier.  This too shall pass![/quote]
