My wife works early shifts so I'm on breakfast and getting the kids ready for school before I log in at 8. By the time I get them out the door I'm already stressed and behind. I'm trying to wake up earlier but 5:30am is brutal. Anyone have a system that actually works?
Honestly I just make a ton of stuff on Sunday so we have grab and go options all week. Muffins, overnight oats, hard boiled eggs. When you're solo doing mornings you gotta prep like you're going into battle.
Oh man you've got it rough. My wife handles breakfast most days but when I'm on duty I keep it simple. Scrambled eggs, toast, fruit if they'll eat it. The key is not trying to do anything fancy before logging in. Save your energy for work.
That's brutal. How old are your kids? The age range really changes how smooth mornings can be.

Wake up at 5:30, coffee while I get myself ready, then get the kids up by 6. Cereal is my best friend because there's no cooking involved. Toast if I'm feeling ambitious. Pro tip: pick out clothes the night before so there's one less thing to fight about in the morning.
