Parents Spend 10 Hours A Week Trying To Get Their Kids Ready In The Morning

Posted — UpdatedThe survey found insights such as:
- Parents remind their kids to brush their teeth, get their shoes on, etc. at least twice every morning.
- The words, “hurry up” are spoken at least 540 times by the end of the school year.
- Forty-three percent of women put on their makeup during their commute due to lack of time for themselves, while 52% of men shave on the way into work.
Sound like mornings in your household? You’re certainly not alone!
She also suggests planning for this to happen as much as you possibly can:
“Toddlers also don’t respond well to being hurried, so if it’s at all possible, try not to make mornings a big rush,” she wrote. “Instead, you may want to wake up half an hour earlier or choose outfits the night before so you don’t waste time with that decision in the morning.”
Testing out these methods can make mornings a little easier on everyone, especially if you can establish a pattern before the next school year rolls around.
Hats off to you, parents!
