I think it should be legal for parents to use electric cattle prods on their children on Monday mornings.
I know that it is just as difficult for the adults to get up and motivated on Mondays, but kids (at least mine) seem to take it to the extreme. Once I do get them out of bed and moving, things usually go fairly smoothly. I did learn my lesson last January about how NOT to get the kids out of bed. Although it is tempting to use that method on the more difficult mornings.
For now I will stick to acting like a mad woman and following them around until they are ready to go out the door, and then go back to bed... OK, maybe not today.
