When do you start your day?

JellyMama · April 2010

DH's been waking me up around 7:45 to help get him and my 3 year old out of the house in the a.m. They're out the door around 8:30 and after that I sip my coffee, catch up on emails, and generally lounge around until about 10.

After that I'll do stuff around the house, hang out with LO, shower, run errands if necessary and pick up DD from daycare around 4:30. Just curious how my schedule compares to other moms at home.

My LO refuses to sleep past 6:30, so we're all up by then. She isn't a napper either, so the days can get pretty long.

We've had a bit of a "routine" lately, if you can call it that. DH wakes up at 630, and LO hates his alarm so he'll wake up around then too. I get up to feed him and spend a few minutes with DH. After LO eats he'll usually go back down for a 2-3 hour nap (with some fighting). During that time I get my shower, eat breakfast, hang out with the dog, and have some me time. The rest of the day is up to DS...usually eat, nap, fuss, repeat.

LO has been waking up around 6:30-7, which is when DH gets ready for work. Some days (if Cadie's had a rough night), we'll nap until about 9:30. We don't have any other kids, so I go purely with what Cadie's doing.

I don't SAH, so it's different for me. I have to be up BY 4:30 to nurse DD and make it to work by 6. Usually its more like 4-4:15. I'm super jealous of your 7:45!!

I get up w/ her betweem 6:30 and 8:30, then do things w/ her and around the house all day depending on when she's sleeping. I'm going to start getting up an hour or 2 before her though because I really need time to work out and shower before mommy duty begind

Totally depends on the day and how late/how much sleep we had the night before. Most days we wake up around 7-7:30am. Every so often, if DS was up a lot that night - then we will have another 2-3 hours of sleep after his 7am feeding.

Since I only have DS and still on maternity leave, we don't really have a schedule of any sort. We usually get up between 8 and 9, lounge around most of the morning, doing whatever. During his naps I'll clean or read. When DH gets home DS and I go for a walk/jog while DH works out. Once I go back to work in a month all this loungy time will not be so abundant so I'm trying to take advantage of it

DH wakes up for work at 5:30, so Charlie wakes up (not because DH is loud, i think he is just a Daddys boy already, haha) and then i feed him and usually he sleeps until 6:30, sometimes 7. my day starts around 6:30-7.
