Now if only I had the discipline to go to sleep earlier to adapt...

Now the only alone time is when they sleep.

Thats what gets me. I don't have kids but now I can't sleep past nine and that is sleeping in. What have I become!?

Sorta...
When i was working before kids, i was awake at 7 to be ass in chair in the office at 8.
With 2 kids, their breakfast, school/daycare drop offs, and getting myself ready, im up at 545 to hopefully make it there before 9. Assuming one of my kids doesnt have a complete melt down because the clothes they picked out were "definitely purple" and not blue like they are today

The worst part is that you get used to it.
My youngest is now 7 years old and can take care of herself in the morning. But I still wake up automatically at 6 in the weekend

I'm so tired

No kids: I could wake up at 8:30 and be in the office by 9, but generally preferred to wake up at 8 and have time to slowly get going.
1 kid: I could wake up at 7:45 and get the toddler dropped off at daycare by 8:45, then be in the office by 9. It would usually be a harried morning, not at all relaxing.
2 kids: I wake up at 7 and try to get a few things ready for the slog of getting the kids to eat their breakfast, brush their teeth, get their clothes on, and on their way to a daycare and an elementary school. I roll into work at 9:30, and I take like 30 minutes to make coffee and get ready for the day. I'm now senior enough in my office that I can refuse routine meetings/calls before 10am, and nobody cares what time I come in or leave.
Note that I live within a 10-minute bike ride to my office. Most parents I know chose to move further from work so that they'd have more space for kids and maybe better schools, so many people have added even more time to their commutes for their kids. I consider myself lucky and privileged to be able to not have to wake up before 7, and still be able to pick up and drop off my kids.

Unfair do downvote you. I'm reading about people who get up at 7 to get their kids ready and then be in office at 9.
That's much better than my job actually. I don't want to say that it wouldn't be even worse with kids, but still have to be at work at 7, so need to be a morning person.
