Anyone else struggle to get out the door on time in the mornings?

Question

Any tips?

Answer

Often! We try to do what we can the night before (pack bags, lay out clothes, etc.) but we have 2 kids and my 16 month old has a knack for needing to get changed right as we’re leaving (I guess it’s better than having to change her at our destination?). My son can be pretty slow in the mornings eating his breakfast but also hates it when we wake him earlier so we have to balance that.

Answer

I swear that it doesn’t matter what time we all get up to get ready it’s ALWAYS a struggle. My poor husband hates me in the morning because I am frantic about getting out of the house on time.

Answer

Do as much as you cam the night before - bags/backpacks packed and by the door, lunches ready, breakfast things ready, clothes laid out or at least planned. My October baby has recently starting balking at just putting on whatever I pick out and really appreciates having 2-3 weather appropriate options so he gets the choice (sometimes he choosing something entirely different, but if works for the weather, I just go with it). I’ve started setting a timer or using hai practice clock to show him when we need to leave, or breakfast will take a million years…he’s not a morning person and transitions are hard for him, and trying to rush that really stresses him (and therefore me) out, so I try to mitigate the amount of ruah we need to be in as much as possible . But there’s also a little sister in the mix now and we also still leave a bit late pretty often. 🤷🏻‍♀️😬
