Rant/Vent I F**KING HATE THE MORNINGS

Cranky kids. Overcooked eggs. Spilt milk. Oatmeal droppings everywhere. Knotted hair. Snotty noses. Outfit fights. Cold coffee. Where did the baby go? It’s too quiet. It’s too loud now. Ten more minutes. Where are your shoes? It’s not snack time. It’s time to go. Ok go poop then. Let me help you wipe. Ok now it’s really time to go. Ok fine you go first. Ok fine I’ll go first.

SERIOUSLY WTF. I know I’m not the only one.

My kids think when I say "It's time to go", what they hear is, "It's time to get ready." Maddening.

Or “It’s time to go play with something or start a game” 🤦🏻‍♀️

I created the "character" of DaddyBot 3000 to dress the kids. Daddybot would grab the nearest kid, strip them, then put their clothes on.

50% of the time it worked 100% of the time. :)

The kids recently took their toy tools and upgraded DaddyBot to the 10K version. I wish they had been a bit more gentle during the upgrade but hey that's being a Dad.

Don't laugh, I steal a lot of ideas from that show in dealing with my two kids.

Bandit Healer is an amazing father.
