Dofferent topic: Why can’t my teenage girls get themselves going in the morning wothout constant exhortations? My son gets himself up, makes his lunch, gets his sports gear, has breakfast, grunts good-bye, and leaves. All without any encouragement. The girls? Always running late, always need to be reminded of the time…

Clearly they’re not getting enough sleep. The need their curfew/bedtime moved up half an hour for each time they can’t manage a morning.

(alternatively, if they’re the kind of girls for whom this would be “punishment”… muse aloud that jeans and t-shirts and no makeup and messy hair is the fastest way to get going in the morning. Hey, if they don’t have time to get spiffy, then they just don’t have time.)
