[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do everything at night except basic personal bathroom needs and getting dressed. That means that everything is packed the night before. My child wears a school uniform, but if you set out clothing the night before it would still work. My mom helps us 4 mornings a week and she allows tv during breakfast. It bugs me, but I'm not the one who has to wash a skillet before getting a child to school so I let it happen. [/quote] This is us, too. The trick is to leave no decision making for the morning. Lunches packed, breakfast planned, coffee ready to go, clothes laid out for the kids and for me, and my handbag/ work supplies ready for work. I also get up well before the kids so my caffeine has kicked in and I'm chipper. If I don't do all of this religiously I am guaranteed to scream about something. It helps that I got to the point where I realized that I was the root of the problem and the source of the solution for all of these humans with different styles and things going on in the morning.
