I'm not ready in the morning?

[Judy Trickett]

Okay, I am obviously the odd man out here. I get up an hour before the kids get here. I shower, have some coffee, check emails and all that before my first kid arrives.

I might get slammed here but I think it's really unfair of us to constantly complain that the dcparents do not treat us like professionals or view us as running a business when we are not professionally and properly presenting ourselves every morning. And, yes, that means having been up, dressed and ready for the day.

There is thread after thread about dcparents and double standards. Well, we have to not be setting a double standard either; we either want to be professional business women or we don't.
