Trouble getting back into our routine.

[Alex44]

It's our own fault, we were way too easy going with the kids this summer, staying up late, sleeping in.... Now we're paying the price, the kids are giving us a hard time getting back to our school time routine. We should have started this a couple of weeks ago, I know, but we had fun this summer.

Anyone else having trouble readjusting?

I made sure I started them on a routine about two weeks before school started. I started putting them to bed a little bit earlier everyday and waking them up earlier too. They are not happy about it, but they are thankful.

I am new to the 'getting them ready for school routine'. My parents always started about a week out, so that is what we did. My son is adjusting well.

I pay that price almost every day when I burn the candle at both ends, same applies for Mondays when the weekend does end, after holidays and so on. At some point though I do hope to grow up a little and have a normal life. But whats normal anymore?

Yeah, I know it is difficult to get the kids back to their school routine. Considering this, sometimes I feel guilty to imagine how I gave my parents (especially my mother) a really hard time getting back to our school routine. But I was just a kid.

This year my routine has been nothing but crazy. I am doing my best to adjust, but it seems like as soon as I do, something new comes along.
