What time can you be ready for in the mornings?

Now, I know this is all relative to when you and your LO get up but how long would it take you to be ready in the mornings?

I only ask as this morning, as I was driving to work, I watched a man walking down the road with his two toddler boys. All dressed and looking smart. I then passed the cafe and there was a family of 5 sitting there eating their croissants and drinking coffee. This was at 7.20!

I reckon it would take at least an hour, if not more for us to be ready to go out like that in the mornings! Maybe it's a good job that I don't have to work early and get Matilda into a nursery!!!

We leave the house at 6.50am on Thurs and Fridays when me and H are both going to work.  Usually I don't do breakfast for the kids at this time, as they have it at the CMs, but sometimes they have something to eat before we leave.  It's a killer.  We get up v. early!

I'm currently on mat leave, but when working I get up at 6.30 and E and I leave the house at 7.30. I don't have to give her breakfast, but when she used to have a BF in the morning I was up at 6.20 and we were still out by 7.30 at the latest. My H leaves the house before 6.30 so I did it by myself, and if he is ever there it gets slower - no idea why! It's about routine and being organised - and I'm lucky that I have a realatively easy little girl!

No idea how I'll manage it with two but hey! *Sticks head firmly back in the sand!*

Edited to add : She doesn't have breakfast but I can't function without my bowl of Rice Krispies, and she sits next to me on the sofa and begs to share them!! Very cute, but takes longer than me shovelling them in!!

I get up at 6.30 in the week and get J up at 6.45, we are both dressed and I have breakfast and we leave for nursery at 7.30am. He has breakfast there but I reckon I could get him breakfasted too before 7.30 if I had to.

You are all my heros! Seriously, I don't know how you do it.

We're out by 7.30 too. He has breakfast at nursery. And that's after I've been out to muck out the horse and home again! But I reckon about an hour all in really just for Sammy.

As you know I don't have to be out early in the morning....

If I'm already showered, from getting the boys up, fed, dressed and out of the house would take about 45 minutes... depending on where we were going, how long we'll be out and how much food I have to take with us!

I get up at 6.30, F gets up at 7.15ish and then we leave the house on work/nursery days at 7.45/8 so 45 minutues for me, 45 minutes for her.

7.20am is impressive to be sat in a cafe.

Currently I can manage meeting friends for 10am earliest and I'm on maternity leave.  I have no idea what we'll do when i go back to work!

I'm on mat leave at the moment but when I was working I would get up at 6.10am. I would be in work at 7.20am having dropped T off at the CM. He would have a bottle and breakfast at home and I would make his pack lunch for the day.

There isn't a hope of me doing the same with the two of them. I dread to think what time I will have to get up when I go back to work!!

On a work day we can be up, breakfasted and ready to go by 7.30am.

When my daughter was a year old she used to regularly wake up hungry at about 6am. I could easily have been in a cafe for breakfast at 7.20. Mind you, that's with just the one child. Five people would take a bit more organising

This was my biggest worry when I wentback to work 3 weeks ago - I wasn't concerned about getting back into things at work (well not hugely concerned anyway) but more worried about the logistics of getting up and out. I have to be in work between 8.15/8.30 so am up at half 6 - get me ready first then get C up about 7.15.

I only give her 4 ounces of milk then she has breakfast at nursery. I leave the house at 7.50 drop her in nursery at 8 then in work for 8.15/20 usually. As its only 2 mornings a week I don't find it too bad although am normally in bed about 9.30 on a night lol!!

On my days off we usually get up about 8 and can be ready by 9.15 - not bad really

generally well over an hour but I did manage to get us out of the door in 40 mins last week when we slept in and were supposed to be going swimming! That involved me eating breakfast on route and sarah going out in her pjs tho!! When  I go back to work we'll have to leave by 7 so it'll be a bit of a shock to the system!

well when I'm at work i can get me and E up and out having both had breakfast in under an hour.

I usually have time to make Mr S some lunch to take with him as well.

However this has been getting shorter because E will now feed herself.
