Inequality

What it's like for me to leave the house:

- Feed kids
- Feed myself
- Bathe kids
- Get kids dressed
- Change kids' clothes because they are dirty/torn/too small/ugly
- Get kids' teeth brushed
- Hopefully shower myself
- Hopefully brush my own teeth
- Look at clock and swear because I'm already late
- Pack snacks
- Fill bottle
- Restock diaper bag
- Get socks, shoes and coats on 3 people
- Grab toys, drinks, snacks, diaper bag, children
- Pack kids in car
- Get seatbelts on
- Run back in house because I forgot keys/phone/sunglasses/child
- Leave
- Pray I didn't forget anything


What it's like for Hubs to leave the house:
- Shave
- Shower
- Get dressed
- Leave

    Ugh, I hear ya on this. It drives me kind of nuts some days. I'm getting better about prepping bottles and diaper bag the night before - just to save those couple of extra precious minutes in the morning. I can't imagine doing it with two little boys while pregnant with a little GIRL!!! You're my hero, mama.

    Time to cut out the bottle! I'm AMAZED what a difference no bottles have made in our time out the door stats. It takes me 15 minutes to get Mac up and out now Granted, he eats a banana in the back seat some days.

    But yeah, I hear ya. Its amazing how much earlier I need to plan to leave to be someplace on time.

    I imagine I'll just have to succumb to being late after May.
