[QUOTE="DDD, post: 473731, member: 35"] I totally agree that structure, structure, structure is paramount. I also agree that some mornings are just horrible. Try to let it go and figure out how to avoid another one like it. by the way, I am also NOT a morning person...as emphasized mornings are bad news for me. But with difficult child's you just can't avoid them, lol. I found the following helped me cope: I always made myself wake up before before the children and get my mind straight. I, too, found that laying out clothes the night before helped alot. Although it almost made me cry, lol, I learned to live the structured life myself elminimating all spontaneous formerly fun moments. With one difficult child I had medications and a snack to give before his wakeup time so he could go back to sleep. With more than one in the house I set the table for breakfast before I went to bed. I won't go on and on but the more structure and fewer surprises the easier it went. Was it easy. Heck no. But...it was easier. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
