[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could people give advice without calling someone who gets out of bed at 7:30 am lazy? That's a perfectly normal time to get up. Yes, some kids get up earlier and you have to figure it out -- get up with them, provide them with an activity, etc. But that doesn't mean a parent is lazy for staying in bed until 7:30.

I would just love to cease this narrative that it is "lazy" to sleep or rest or[b] not jump up to accommodate every other person in your life. It is toxic. [/b]The parent who gets up at 7:30am might be going to bed at midnight because they have to work after their kids go to bed, or because that's when they prep lunches and do kid-related admin, or because they have a high stress job and they use evenings to do a hobby, connect with their partner, or relax with a book or TV in order to decompress.

There is nothing wrong with getting out of bed at 7:30. Many people don't have to leave the house until 8:30 in order to get to school/work on time, and an hour is plenty of time to get ready.[/quote]

It's not toxic to get up to take care of your young child.[/quote]
