What’s your morning routine?

Question

I have an 18 month old and I’m 9 weeks pregnant. I’m a stay at home/substitute teacher (when jobs are available/when I can) and my husband stays home too. 
I still haven’t gotten down a morning routine and my husband has complained about it. (I’ve never been a morning person and he dislikes that). My LO is still breastfed and likes to feed in bed in the morning so we don’t spring out of bed, we lounge. We have one bathroom (apartment living) and hubby needs to shower in the morning. Sometimes I shower in the morning with my tot, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I make breakfast first thing, sometimes I read her books first. Sometimes we get dressed first. I hardly ever really have time to do my hair (curly/frizzy) so I’ll cover it sometimes, and I don’t wear makeup (I haven’t really ever worn it but occasionally I used to). 
Sooo what’s your morning routine? And what was it when you had a toddler? 
Did you have time for self care?

Answer

Yea I always made time for self care. I have a 16 month old and two older school aged kids. We wake up in the morning and we get breakfast and then after we eat we come upstairs and get a shower and get dressed for the day. Every day is the same and we are in a strict routine.

Answer

My daughter hasnt been a toddler in years. Shes 9.
Alarms start going off at 6:30. Bf and I are up, up by 7:10. Get daughter up for school. Bf leaves for work. Make sure daughter is ready to go to school by 8:07. And then my me time starts after I take her to school. My me time with no one in the house is from 8:10 til 11:30 when my bf gets home. He does landscaping so only morning shifts. I get a full break from the kiddo every day til 2:40 p.m when she gets out of school. It is nice

Answer

Wake up at 7:30 am and wake baby change diaper etc. eat breakfast usually something easy pop tart, waffle, breakfast bar etc. I drink coffee while baby eats on the floor usually lol. Then when she’s done she grows away what’s left and we go to the living room we open the windows get her some water and watch tv for 30 mins while I try to wake up more then we work on reading and talking then we play for a while till lunch. That’s our morning routine works for my family but you do what works for you and your kids

Answer

My husband and I get up about 15 minutes before our daughter (17M). We both brush teeth, wash face, get dressed. Then I go get our daughter, change her, help her pick out an outfit, brush teeth, hair, etc. While I’m doing that, my husband gets our daughters breakfast ready, packs lunch for us, and let’s out the dogs/feeds them. We all sit down for breakfast, and I multitask doing my make up and eating. Husband leaves for work, then my daughter and I pack up our stuff for the day and make our way to my car. We like listening to her favorite songs in the car and try to look for school buses on our way to daycare. The routine is slightly different on weekends but not by a ton. We listen to music in the living room instead and try to get outside once it’s warmed up a bit.

Answer

I’m fairly lazy in the morning haha, but I try to get up a couple minutes before my toddler. He’s always content in his crib when he first wakes up so tbh him talking to himself/the sound of him starting to wake up is usually is my alarm/cue to get up lol. 
I shower at night so I don’t have to in the morning. Recently I’ve been doing some quick skin care and washing my face first thing. 
Our toddler almost always likes breakfast right when he gets up (and so do I haha) so I make him breakfast and get him up. Then we get dressed after breakfast. 
It’s not much of a routine but that’s how pretty much every morning goes for us.
