The thing is, while I can get [i]myself [/i]everywhere on time (early, even), I can't get DH and the kids anywhere. It's constant cajoling and threatening and waking up two hours early. And even then, it's not always enough. It's so much responsibility with horrible penalties if I fail, but I don't have control over anyoe but myself, so what can I do?[/quote]

You likely  went to college to learn how to do your job. Have you considered parenting classes or parenting  coaching to prepare for your job as a parent? Ask your pediatrician for a good recommendation. If you’re dreading school this much, you might also benefit from seeing a mental health professional for yourself. I’m sorry that you are feeling so stressed.

(Late kids disrupt the whole class, which is likely why your school is so strict. And believe me, in the younger grades, it’s a big disruption. Small kids typically  thrive on predictably.)[/quote]

On the suggestion of friends, actually, I took a parenting class when she was an infant, and then another once she was about 2. It was horrible. Both times, the instructor spent most of the time telling us how awful smoking around the baby and shaking them was, and how to not water down formula. It wasn't the kind of thing I wanted to learn.[/quote]
