I’m so flippin pissed right now, it’s not even funny! I try my best to have mornings around here go as well as possible, I don’t like the thought of my kids walking out the door to go to school being upset, I don’t think it’s a good way to start the day. I’ve known for a VERY long time that neither of my kids are morning people, and that’s fine. We’ve made adjustments and make sure that we set their alarms earlier than what is actually necessary, that way they have a little more time to get ready for school.
This morning my daughter decided to wait until about 10 minutes before we have to walk out the door for the 5 minute drive to where she gets on the bus to START getting ready. Now mind you, I’ve been in and out of her room telling her to get up and get moving for almost an hour now. Just a couple of minutes ago she lays into me about the fact that I didn’t come in and make sure she was up and moving at the time that her alarm went off, and that’s why she’s running so late this morning getting ready. EXCUSE ME? I’ve been in and out of your room since 6:10 telling you to get up and get moving, yet you laid there NOT getting ready until 6:42, and now all of a sudden it’s MY fault? I DON’T THINK SO AND YOU ARE GROUNDED!
So now, rather than a 5 minute drive to the bus stop, I have a 25 minute drive to her school because we won’t make the bus in time. You can bet your butt that her alarm is going to be set 30 minutes earlier and I’ll come in her room with spray bottles and air horns if she’s not up and getting ready within FIVE minutes of that time! I’m SOOOOOOOOO done with this bullshit!
