work world sorta does that to begin with.
Sorta...
When i was working before kids, i was awake at 7 to be ass in chair in the office at 8.
With 2 kids, their breakfast, school/daycare drop offs, and getting myself ready, im up at 545 to hopefully make it there before 9. Assuming one of my kids doesnt have a complete melt down because the clothes they picked out were "definitely purple" and not blue like they are today
Except weekends used to be mine. I could sleep.
Now the only alone time is when they sleep.
Thats what gets me. I don't have kids but now I can't sleep past nine and that is sleeping in. What have I become!?
