Watch me do my morning routine!!!

[Stockingsonthewall]

Lay in bed this morning and it’s all coming up
on my Ig feed. Mums with huge houses, gardens & cars. Waking at 5 am, getting dressed, taking their huge water/juice/coffee bottle flask thingies and driving in the cold and dark to the gym, working out then doing pilates in the morning. We see the step by step account, the perfect outfits, the perfect skincare routine, back home making eggs & pancake and fruit for their child/children.

Whose morning routine is like this? Am I just failing at life 😂

My morning routine today-Dd woke me at 7, I stayed in bed for ten minutes later as didn’t want to leave my warm bed, then felt guilty as Dd desperate to see what the elves had done
Came down-coffee, Dd opened advent calendar & watched tv. Made Dd Ready brek and a banana, scrolled my phone. Pulled on leggings and fleece, sorted Dds bag, did her hair, droped her at school, back home, lay on sofa-(work in evenings)

It's just marketing its their job ...

Well my morning after my 1 year old got me up at 3, 4 and 6 was the dog walking me to tell me inbetween those times that she was going to be sick on my bedroom carpet, only minutes after I stood the door trying to get her into the garden.

i made breakfast in my pjs young baby through her porridge at my head of the high chair as I bent over to pick up the spoon she dropped. As I was cleaning up after dog and child - child is crawled up to me whilst at the kitchen sink and pulled my pj bottoms down as the Royal Mail van pulled up outside the kitchen window. Just about everyday I am a royal mess. I don’t do social media but there are some very glamorous and efficient mums in some of my baby groups…

No, it’s all for show!

We usually drag ourselves out of bed after 7am as 4 year old has had us up in the night.
Remember I didn’t bath them before bed so try and get them to have a ‘quick’ shower, which is impossible as they can’t do anything quick.
Get them dry, attempt to do something with my little girls hair which takes longer than it should and probably sounds like I’m trying to torture her to my neighbours!
Bribe my 7 year old son on repeat to get his school uniform on.
Finally make it downstairs. I put out two bowls of cereal, the kids take one spoonful every 5 mins in between drawing, arguing, doing star jumps round the kitchen.
They then don’t have time to finish said cereal, so end up shoving a pain au chocolate in their face as we leave the door.
Oh, then just as we’re leaving, my son announces “I actually need to take in today…PE kit/some sort of fair donation/£3.63 in change/kryptonite” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Amongst all this, I get a 30 second shower, brush my hair and hope my make up from yesterday still looks ok!! Roll on when they can get themselves ready!

I don’t agree with it myself, people are fine if they don’t want to shower every day! I do, but some don’t need to. But it is a sin on here

My morning routine is wack up at 6am tack my pup out for walk we do 1hour everyday.

I think the reason people get annoyed with morning people, is that they've set the modern world up to work for them. My natural sleep rhythm just work like that but I still have to get up everyday to get on with the life that has been built around those who are early to bed and early to rise. I feel like I'm fighting a daily battle to fit my life into someone else's time zone.

So, I have been known to wake up bleary eyed and go to a 6.15 gym session. But I don't post it anywhere, and when I get back through the door it's more like your morning 😂 The reason I'd go then is because there is literally no other time if you're trying to go semi regularly.

For various reasons, I've not been in ages and it's a case of everyone dragging themselves out of bed around 7.45/8am, grumbling each other with missing items of uniform, coffee, maybe porridge and go before 8.30. 2 parents, both at home and on occasion growling 🤣

Modern Avon lady 🤣 love that, cant stand influencers though, contributes to over consumption BS

But it’s not their fault the world is set up for them - they didn’t design the working world decades ago - they just happen to benefit from it now 😬

I’m up at 5am every morning. Dogs out, coffee then Pilates at home. Coffee, dog walk, shower, professional (by that I mean appropriate for work) make up and working at 8.

If it bothers you, don't look!

6 years. 2 years fertility. 2 miscarriages and 1 beautiful baby girl. 3 beautiful homes. Countless adventures and vacations. We had a beautiful life together, though ill admit it was painfully hard in towards the end. But I was not ready to give up... I felt like I had to.

What causes people to step out and have an affair? Why lie about it?

Just 6 weeks separated and im seeing a different person. But also opening my eyes to who was infront of me the whole time. Its all so very confusing.

An autistic daughter. No job. No financial security. No big beautiful home. No car. No health insurance soon. How am I supposed to do this? Why am I supposed to do this?
