    I’m sick and tired of being told “JuSt GEt up BeForE tHe KiDs”

    @dmurrayfly I hate this advice with a passion. I am blessed with good sleepers who are fairly consistent with a wake up time - I STILL don't want to wake up before them in order to be able to do anything for myself! Why should I have to sacrifice sleep for that? I should be able to...

    Tips for preparing our 3.5 y/o for new baby?
