[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- Since DH wakes up early to start WFH, and the preschooler and toddler wake up way too early (usually between 6:30-7), we've gotten into an awesome routine where DH dresses them, takes them to the potty, sits them on the couch, turns on an educational show for them (like Blippi!), gives them bowls of fruit...

So I can sleep in with the baby! Waking up and getting them ready for school is so much easier since we started this routine!

A year or two ago, I never would have liked/would have argued about: the kids eating breakfast on the couch or watching a show before school. Maybe I would even have wanted to dress them myself so they'd be in "cute" outfits.

Since having baby #3 all I have is gratitude. Whatever makes everyone happy and buys me more sleep :D

- Also: PAPER PLATES. I used to think this was such a waste/cheap. Well, I got tired of doing dishes multiple times a day during this pandemic when we'd regularly spend every. Single. Day. Home. So. Many. Dishes!!!! We now use paper plates and bowls about 90% of the time!!![/quote]

There’s a difference between laziness vs. hacks. Letting your children eat breakfast on the sofa in front of the TV, and using paper plates, falls into the former category. It’s not helpful to anyone looking for hacks.

Also, I’m kind of surprised that your DH gets such kudos for the bare minimum…[/quote]
