Can we all agree that mornings, when kids are involved, are not in the slightest bit chill or relaxing?

In fact – I will go as far as saying that the morning rush – especially on certain mornings – is the most stressful time a day for me – by miles. Between getting myself ready and the kids ready and lunchboxes made and breakfast on the table and all those little bits and bobs that need to happen before we leave the house done, let’s just say there isn’t a lot of time left over to curl my hair or ponder over outfits (Swimming bag – check. Jollyphonics book – check. Keys – left in the door overnight again and now retrieved and put into my bag – check.)

However, there is comfort in numbers, and I know that when it comes to the morning mania, us mums  are pretty much in the same boat.

That’s right – we actually work an extra day every week just trying to get us all fed, dressed and out the door in time every morning.

What took the most time? Well, according to the survey,
