The worst part is that you get used to it.
My youngest is now 7 years old and can take care of herself in the morning. But I still wake up automatically at 6 in the weekend 😭
Even if you're exhausted, you're getting up anyway. Your body is now successfully trained to avoid recuperating, no matter how much it needs it.
work world sorta does that to begin with.
Except weekends used to be mine. I could sleep.
Now the only alone time is when they sleep.
Thats what gets me. I don't have kids but now I can't sleep past nine and that is sleeping in. What have I become!?
Sorta...
When i was working before kids, i was awake at 7 to be ass in chair in the office at 8.
With 2 kids, their breakfast, school/daycare drop offs, and getting myself ready, im up at 545 to hopefully make it there before 9. Assuming one of my kids doesnt have a complete melt down because the clothes they picked out were "definitely purple" and not blue like they are today
