It’s those 96 hours that can break you.
Just describing it right now is enough to make you tremble. Yes, getting your kids into the car is a nightmare, especially if they’re 2 or 3 years old. Did you realize that it takes you an average of 10 minutes to get your child ready and into the car? Did you factor that into your “drop dead” exit time when you absolutely, positively have to be at work? Oh, is that why you’re late at least once a week? You actually might need an extra 40 minutes or longer to get where you’re going when you have the kids in tow. Every year, that’s 96 hours or 4 full days to get jackets on, seat belts clicked, shoes tied, potty breaks and the rest of it. My recommendation is to embrace the horror. This time of life doesn’t last forever. Be realistic about how much time you really need and schedule it. Don’t make life harder than it needs to be.
