Hi Alicia,

It's difficult, being a working parent! It takes so much energy!

In the morning, it's good to have a routine - routines help kids feel secure because they know what to expect. So things like when kids wake up, when they have breakfast, brushing teeth and getting ready to leave the house being the same each morning can help things go smoothly. Also if you can plan ahead each evening to have things ready to go in the morning that will help too.

I know what you mean about not having much energy for housework ... and that's OK ... because your children and work become the priority! As kids get older they can help out with chores so you have more time to 'play' together.
