[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 90397, member: 1233"] I wholeheartedly agree that choosing everything you can the night before is the key to an easier morning. But that is for tomorrow. Don't buy more expensive cereal he likes this time around. Teh next box should be corn flakes or something cheap and boring because he spilled it all over. Also, if you have cleaned it up, PUT IT BACK!! If this is worth the fight (and we all know sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't) then leave the cereal all over and have HIM clean it up before he gets dinner. Natural consequences. IF the battle over that, or the anxiety for you, is too great, then don't worry this time. Sweep it up, go on about your day. I have done both, depending on how stable the child was and how much I could handle. If I don't have things ready the night before, I jsut don't cope in the am, so I kind of understand. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
