To ask what time you get up for work/school run etc?

[booqueue]

Just that. What time do you all get up in the morning?

I get up at 6am and it's always a struggle as I seem to be a night owl

6.30 😴

8am for the school run, much later if not.

I dont know if I can bear to read the thread....
I am usually up around 4.30/5 with ds (dh and I take it in turns but my body seems to have forgotten how to sleep past this time)
Breakfast at 6.15
Dh goes to work
Get kids ready for school
Walk to bus stop in town to put dd2 on school bus
Walk back to ds's school
Walk to work
Relax.....

It wouldn't be so bad but ds is up every night with reflux.

Fortunately I do love coffee

Wow, you lot wake very early! I set the alarm for 7 but tend to wake on my own a few mins before alarm.
Go on my phone until 7, then make breaktast for kids and packed lunch, feed youngest her porridge, get youngest dressed etc and then jump in the shower at 7:30.
Leave house at 8:20 for school run.

murmuration I slept in and made it from bed to bus stop in 6 minutes once.

I have my clothes ready in the bathroom and go straight there from bed. I have a super quick shower (don't get my hair wet, I wash & straighten the night before) then straight into clothes. Lenses in, teeth, then tinted moisturiser and mascara.

Then down stairs, feed the cats, move breakfast, lunch and water bottle from fridge to bag and out the door.

Everyone else is asleep so it's easy. On non work days with the 3yo and baby it takes 2 hours minimum to get out the door.

I have breakfast at work. I also have makeup and straighteners there just in case.

I'm still breastfeeding multiple times per night, so every minute of sleep counts.

I think having slightly shitter hair is a small price to pay for more sleep 💤

Get up at 6am, out by 6:45, at work for 7:30/8. Work until 4pm then dash home.

For the school run I get up at 07:20.

For work I get up at 05:20!

My alarm goes off at 6, but I usually snooze until 6.30. We leave the house by 7.30 if we can - 7.40 at the absolute latest. I saw a great meme recently, which said something like "I'm not an early bird. I'm not a night owl. I'm more of a permanently exhausted pigeon!!" - summed my life up quite well! Xx

Wake up at 6:30, half hour to wake up properly then I usually log on to my work computer for an hour (cuts my working day by an hour so I can finish at 3 which I love) DC up about 7:45 usually, has her breakfast 8 ish, I jump in the bath while she's eating, off to school at about 8:50. School run is five mins so I'm back to work at home just after 9, or off to the office which is about 45 Mins commute.

I'm not a morning person so I have multiple wake-ups before I finally get up.

5am, DHs alarm goes off and youngest DC wakes up for a feed. Feed baby and go back to sleep.

6am, DH leaves for work and gives me a nudge to let me know I need to get up soon.

6.30am, alarm goes off and I have to get up or else we won't all be ready on time for school.

8.20am, leave for school.

I get home from work at 6:15, get dc1 up at 6:30, dc2 up at 7:00, dc1 out the door at 7:15, dc3 up at 7:30, dc2 Out the door at 8:00, dc3 to school 8:45. Home by 9:00 when I go to bed. Get up at 3:00 to collect dc2&3 at 3:15.

The staggering of mornings makes it much easier than trying to get everyone out of the house at the same time.

5:30 here
I do yoga as it’s the only spare time in my day and the kids are generally shouting to get up between then and 6 anyway so it beats lying in bed being grumpy. All 3 Dc up at 6, eat breakfast and dressed ready for school/nursery by 7:30. On a bad day 7:45. I am jealous at how quickly you all get out the door! Is it because ours are all little?!

Goodness, I'm just scanning the replies but we're clearly later than most.

8am up for all of us (dd2 natural alarm clock, if she lies in then we're all late, meh).

8.40 dh leaves with dds, drops them at school on his way to work for 9 (same town).

I get up at 6.30am, to get youngest ds on his SEN bus which comes at 7. I then wake up DS2, to get him ready for his SEN bus that comes at 7.30.At this point I wake up DS1, DS3 and DD. Dd is good at getting washed and dressed, the boys are lazy and require constant reminders. At this point I am also getting dressed, putting on make up appropriate for my day. We leave the house at 8am, the school run takes half an hour to two different schools.

I am up at 6 to walk dog for 45 mins. Every winter i wonder why it was a good idea to get a blimmin dog!
DS up anytime from 6.30-7. We leave for school and work 8.15.

On a work day 5:15 so 3 days a week includes some weekends, rest of the week 6:30 but more like 7 leave the house at 8:15 for the school run, days off I get up as late as possible. It's great to know I'm not the only one getting up in the middle of the night.

Surely this depends on your commute. When I lived in a suburb 5 miles outside Bristol I got up at 530 to leave at 630 to get to work by 9. Now I live and work in a smaller city and my daughter is old enough to get herself partially ready I get up at 720 to leave at 805

Wow - thought 5.55am was early. No reason that I have to get up quite so early. Shower, coffee..

Drive DS2 to school bus at 7am

5.45, Open the door to see if the dog wants to go out for a wee, dog usually opens one eye, huffs and goes back to sleep, cats completely ignore me, unless I put clothes on the sofa when they will roll over them quickly just to make sure I am hairy enough before dozing off wherever happens to be most in the way. Pop in to kiss DD bye, who generally mutters something about 'yeah yeah, love you too' while throwing the quilt over her head. Out the house by 7.15 latest, bus at 7.30.

DH does the school run/getting DC ready so is up at 7.30, out at 8.30 then takes the dog for his walk after the school run

5.45 to do the cats, dogs, horses, sheep and chickens before the kids. Leave at 7 back at 7.

At the moment, about 7.15. We all have to be out of the house by just gone 8am. It's relevant that my children are now secondary age. When they were younger and needed more help, I had to get up earlier.

6:45, up at 7. Tween/teen kids dress and breakfast themselves and I head to work.

Last year we lived miles outside the city, I was up at 6, and with chronic insomnia it pretty much killed me. Moved house and changed jobs and it’s much easier now!

Alarm goes off at 6.40, I have 15 minutes waking up/checking fb etc before getting ds up. He has to leave the house at 7.45 to get the bus, and is not a morning person at all, so takes him what seems like forever to get dressed and eat breakfast.

633 precisely if the alarm wakes me. More often than not the kids are up around 530 though and that wakes me. We leave at 815 for school / work.
