So this morning was as hetic as usual, but I wasn't at work last night so at least everything was where it should be.
Dd1 was dressed. Dd2 was upstairs getting dressed, DH was in bed sleeping . I was simultaneously making breakfast, making packed lunches, feeding the dogs, trying to coax the cat in and trying to convince dd1 to brush her properly.
Dd2 appeared nekkid in the dining room clutching her uniform and a towel she could only have gotten from DH. "Daddy said you have to put me in the shower before I go to school because my knees are dirty" I calmly explained I did not have time and I would wipe her down with a flannel before we set off, so could she please get dressed as we have to leave in 20 minutes. Nope, she was adamant she would not get dressed "Daddy said". 'Daddy' was still in bed at this point. I shouted up and asked him to tell dd2 to get dressed because she was refusing. He yelled down that I must shower her before I (as in me, of course) take her to school.
At this point I may have lost my temper just slightly and stormed out with dressed and breakfasted dd1 . I did yell up the stairs to tell him I was leaving dd2 so he needed to get up and sort her out and take her to school because it wasn't fair for dd1 to be late due to his sleeping yet creating more work for me.
Dd2 is only 4, so she wouldn't be missing as much or causing as much disturbance to the rest of the class if she was late as dd1 would do.
After I had stormed out I and dropped dd1 off I might possibly have gone to sit and have a coffee on the way home, knowing full well he would be struggling and they still wouldn't have set off. It is also possible that I then dawdled home rather slowly. They were just leaving when I got back at 9:35
