We asked you to describe getting your kid ready for school in three words and you didn’t disappoint. School day mornings are…interesting…and there are certain words that describe it perfectly. Alex starts us off with a bang and Rob finishes things as all mornings end.

Alex Pereda: A fucking nightmare.

Erin Kelly: Handles it himself. He has since he was in first grade, sets his alarm, gets up and dressed, brushes his teeth, sets his book out for me to sign, has his breakfast, and only needs a little help getting his lunch packed. Occasionally he does set his alarm for PM instead of AM by accident, but he never sleeps through it when it is set right, and when he does happen to set it wrong, he still jumps out of bed and gets ready quickly.

Dave Mitchell: Dressing an octopus.

Natalie Merritt: WHERE’S THE BRUSH?!!!!!!

Georgie Valderrama: Waking a wolf. My kindergartener acts like a teenager at wake up. She is whiny, stomping, yelling or we drag her out of bed. I can be heard saying in taking away your computer time and 3DS a bunch of times.

Bill Saunders: Herding ADHD kittens.

Marquita Hyde-Sims: Get Dressed Now!!!!!!! Or my other favorite EAT YOUR BREAKFAST!

Jeff Peters: Eat. Eat… Eat!!! (I want to throw in a dammit too, but too many words)

Andrew Palmer: Constant repetition. Like walking around in circles punching myself in the face.

Derek Wilson: You’re. So. Slow.

Chris Lassen: Stall, argue, cry.

Matt Gracie: Find your shoes!

Michael Bryant: Homeschool in pajamas!

Michael Williams: Baptizing a cat.

Laura Allen: FFS.

Justin Bowman: 5 more minutes.

Shaun Kempston: GET YOUR SHOESONNOW!! (“shoes on now” had become one-word in our family).

Rob Christina Payne: We are late.
