Bribes and competition. My kids are same age. PreK and 1st. We have this Olympic medal looking thing and whoever is ready first gets to keep it for the day and choose the tv show they watch that night.
Are they getting to bed early enough in the evening/ night prior? My kids are a bit older than yours but they would be absolute bears if they didn't get enough zzz's the night before.

See if you can start to match bedtime to match wake up. Mine are 2.5 years apart so ideally younger one would sleep more but this made it all easier too

Same boat - you’re so not alone. After some trial and error (LOTS of error) I think we have a good rhythm. Nighttime routine became strict on timing. TV is off by 7:15pm and we start the routine (brush teeth, bath, pajamas, one book but two if they are good, snuggles, last sip of water and sleep). I do wish I could eliminate the night TV before bed bc I hear that makes it hard for kids to sleep but husband and I need that time to work more. Also they sometimes come out for more hugs but I try to turn on mean mom so they know I’m not playing that game. Then in the morning ideally husband and I are up and ready and make breakfast before the lil monsters are up so they know we mean business. We tell them to brush their teeth and get dressed on their own and come down to eat. This requires lots of militant reminders of the routine and unfortunately if I’m tired or pmsing resorts to yelling (a 2021 goal of mine to quit, which I’m failing at). They sort of feed off each other in natural competition (as we try not to overtly use that). Then if they start eating, one of us that can not be on calls or emails will tell them a story during breakfast as long as they have food in their mouths. The second they walk away or play with toys or start playing with their milk with their fucking fingers, story abruptly ends. They know that they have our full attention and fun resumes as long as they follow the rules. And I warn them that mean mom might emerge if they don’t follow. It took months to get them following this routine but it works on good days!!! And then we started to see more good days. But yes even on a good day, I feel like I’ve already had a day before my work day begins. Hang in there.

It’s funny but when we are with the kids with our phone or laptop in front of us or with AirPods while talking, I notice them get loud and unruly. It’s like they know they don’t have our full attention. So another one of my 2021 goals in addition to not yelling is to be fully present when I am with them. Dividing and conquering helps with the husband so we take turns based on who’s more stressed or busier. I notice the kids act our more with my husband bc he is always on his phone but also lacks the sticktoitiveness with the rules. Hope this helps. Happy to connect 1:1 to commiserate and help eachother. #takesavillage
