To think I’m being lazy

Life so much better when I get up with the children. But on days DH is around he gets up with them which means then I’m rushed with everything … I’m being lazy but any tips on how I can address this and spring out of bed a bit better

Why not get up at the same time as him? Or if you feel life is better when you get up with the children then just do that and let him have a lie-in?

Hello, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion you're being lazy.. You're a Mum and you're probably exhausted like most of us. There are so many reasons why it's hard to get out of bed.. I relate to this myself and I know if I get up early the day goes way better but still struggle to do it!
I have a lot of health issues and probable neurdivergency which makes it hard for me for lots of reasons. I keep trying but there are days I need to accept I need more rest. Adjust my expectations etc.

Something I try is set the coffee machine in the kitchen the night before so I have to get up to get it.. Promise yourself something nice to kind of bribe yourself!

Or.. enjoy your well deserved extra time in bed, but have your clothes/whatever you need done, all laid out the night before so you don't have to rush.
