To not get up with DD for school?

She is 13, Yr 8.

Primary age kids are off this week so I have no school runs, they don't wake up till about 9am.

WIBU to just tell DD to set an alarm and get ready and go herself so I can have lie ins? She doesn't eat hot breakfast, just a croissant or bagel or something and I can do her lunch night before.

Or am I just being lazy and I should get up with her? 😂

She is old enough to do it though and is capable.

On the face of it she should be, but you come across as rather uncaring. Maybe this is one of the reasons she has anxiety.

Anyone who has supported a DC with anxiety knows perfectly well that just telling them to get on with it is counter productive.

Why on earth wouldn't you get up with her?
Don't you like her?
