this one falls flat. most people have to wake up before 8 to go to work regardless of marital status or kids.
Jokes on you, my mum wouldn’t wake up at all and yelled at me for not being on time or knowing how to prepare my own food!
… Fuck me in retrospect that was crazy bad
8AM is late. 6 or 5 is typical.
yeah I would hate getting up that late and not having my work day done at 3pm
LPT: Marry a “morning person”.
Well, you luckily do not have to, if you dont want to.
Thats like, your choice, man.
I’m a very late night person, and do work around the clock. Haven’t ever done 9-5 work. Having kids does not make that easy, but thats my choice, once again. Pushing 40 years I wouldnt be able to go through it again with small kids. My wife just had to get a few dogs though. Same things as with small kids…
I did that (breakfast, going to school) by myself since I was like 5
As someone with 2 kids and wasn’t the biggest fans of kids all O can say is we kind of trained them to sleep in lol. With that said school is the worst part… im up by 6:45am during the week, but once they are gone i go back to bed for an hour or get some stuff done before my 9am job. Also weekends and summer they sleep till like 9am which is ok in my book!
Jokes on you! I wake up at 5am already and 4am if I’m going fishing.
But that’s just me getting up, I don’t have kids or anyone else to get moving in the morning.
Maybe it’s jokes on me 🤷♀️
My wife and I wake up at ~6:30am to get our daughter on her bus. We are not morning people, in fact we are quite emphatically night people. Left to our own devices, we will sleep more like 1am-9am. We knew this when we had our kid, and we figured that our circadian rhythms would naturally adjust to the baby’s.
They did not. It’s been six years since I had what felt to me like a “normal” sleep schedule.
I love my daughter, she’s my reason for living, I wouldn’t trade her for anything, not by a long shot.
But nobody should fuck around with parenting, and nobody should have to be convinced to do it, let alone coerced. The very idea of someone doing this without 100% wanting to do it sounds like just about the worst kind of hell I can imagine, for both parent and offspring.
Wait until this guy learns about having a job
Ah, the joys of having a flexible work schedule…
I too have flexible work schedule but I don’t feel like working untill 7pm which is why I wake up at 6am.
Yeah I can flex all the time I want but I still have to hit my 40hrs and fuck working in the evenings. I’d rather just get up and do it so I can get on with the rest of my life so 6am it is.
8AM? School must start very late where you live. Classes started at 7:45 for me, so wakeup time would’ve been more like 6:30.
My bus arrived at 6:15am. We had to get up even earlier here.
At that point, why even go to sleep?
Really? Where do you live? In the UK schools run from 9am-3.30pm.
Where I grew up in the States, the elementary, middle schools and high schools shared a transportation department. Because of this school start times were staggered as buses would pick up highschool students and drop off at school, then make runs to pick up the elementary and middle schools, again staggering to accommodate different start times.
This meant that students at any of the schools could get dropped off anywhere from 25 minutes early to just before classes started (from 7:30-9:00am.) The end of the day was also staggered, with school getting out between 2:30-3:30.
Germany. Started at 7:45 and ended anywhere from 1PM to 4PM.
Brutal.
Bruh my cats are basically alarm clocks in the morning 😹
Heh, my cat does the same to my parents when they visit.
Not to me though. My cat knows I ain’t gonna get up and feed him until I’m awake. He will wait patiently and judge silently. Loud meowing only works on my parents.
Omg SAME. We taught ours to talk (using buttons) and she’s such an absolute unhinged menace in the mornings
I’m not childfree, I have a kid, but he’s 22 and no longer lives with me.
But the thing is, I’m consistently woken earlier by my fucking cat than I ever was by my kid when he was little.
12-15 years of helping them go to school, then 10 years of helping them avoid terrible life choices when they are most prone to making them and least likely to listen to you, then 5-10 years of worrying about their career and finances and then you can finally start everything again with your grandchildren. Yay!
