The earlier you get them up in order to get them out the door, the harder it becomes to get them out the door.

You think it's hard to get a kid to get ready in the morning? Try getting a cranky, tired kid ready in the morning.

Please, respond by saying that the solution is to put them to bed earlier. I know you want to.

On the contrary, I found that the mornings I had a wide time margin, most things went smoothly and I could enjoy the time with my children. When I was nearly late from the start, things would go bad and soon even worse. I put it down to the difference in my patience and attitude in dealing with the inevitable little hiccups. In other words, I was to blame when we were late.

I'm going to delegate this one to my man Sam Jackson.
