Thanks all.

We do not wake the kids up! The younger one is up at 6:30 and the older one by 7:00 at the latest. They wake up on their own.

I like to leave 6:45 and my spouse leaves anywhere between 6:30 and 7:00. The kids can rattle around on their own for a bit so we have kind of agreed she will start at 7:00. That seems to feel more doable to her than 6:30. It means I wait until she is up to leave as I want to be sure she is on her feet and with the kids so I leave a little later.

The last few days she has been up by 7:00. Groggy, and mostly non verbal... but I have just been leaving as soon as I see she is up and the kids have been at school on time and with clothes on as far as I know![/quote]

13.56 again.  There’s no excuse then.  The job is to be up with kids when they get up (hopefully naturally, which yours do, kudos!).  I’d suggest moving it 5 minutes earlier each week, until you’re back to your desired time.

On the bright side, your kids are getting a good dose of independence and learning to start tasks for themselves.  She needs to do her job and be up, but it’s to supervise (if your kids are 6+).[/quote]
