I don't mean to pry or be cheeky or sound judgemental, but how many kids do you have that it takes 3-4 hours to get them all breakfasted and ready for school? And is school far away or just a 10-15 min drive? What are you doing during that time?
I know kids can consume a lot of attention in the morning (especially the elementary lot), but that amount of time seems extraordinary.
I'm 52 and my folks were never up before 7:30am to get us fed and watered and ready for school and there was still plenty of time for banter, making packed lunches etc.
I'm genuinely interested.
- OJFord 7y agoWell, plural children in three categories of school (so 6+) was what caught my eye!
- teh_klev 7y agoI did notice the plurals. If so then I probably get it. That said, High Schoolers, if in their teens do tend to sleep in longer (unless they're those annoying up-with-the-lark types), and can be a bit more self sufficient when trained properly :) so you could knock an hour off that schedule.
