By the time my youngest ingrained an early wake-up habit in me, he'd grown up enough to decide he wanted to sleep later himself. I just kept the habit of getting up a bit before him, if only so I have a chance to use the bathroom without having to talk through the door.

When my oldest son was born, I kept working and he went to daycare, but every time he would catch one of those little colds that babies get, the daycare wouldn't take him and I would have to stay home. My employer only gave us 10 personal days a year, and after I used those up, they told me they would fire me if I had another one. I was pregnant with Nathan, and along with realizing how much daycare for two kids was going to cost, I knew I would just need more sick days. I couldn't stand the stress anymore!
