[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why don't you get up just 15 minutes earlier and accept that childcare will fall on you solely during the rush of getting people ready for work/daycare? But, make your husband responsible for everything else- laying out your kid's clothes for the next day, making lunches, packing bags, etc, so that "all" you have to do when you wake up is get yourself ready and your child dressed (with clothes picked out by your husband) and fed (possibly with breakfast prepped by your husband).

I hear you in that seeing your husband smoke and look at his phone while you're rushing around leads to resentment; I know that even him helping for 5 mins would bring relief to you. But it doesn't sound like he's going to change so maybe you just had to resign yourself to deal with accepting things the way they are for your own sanity.

It doesn't seem like anyone has suggested this yet, but why don't you also wake your son up 15 mins earlier?[/quote]

Thank you, I'm heading in this direction. My poor kid is so tired, I don't have the heart to wake him. But he's not really the issue. If I was totally ready to go, that would help a lot. In fact, I feel SO lucky that he sleeps 7pm to 7am. That is the break we have-his reliable sleeping![/quote]
