The school run is back, and so is the daily chaos of trying to get out the door on time.
Rob and Ash opened up the phones asking:
Who or what is making you late?
The answers? Hilarious and painfully relatable.
Some parents said their kids just sleep in and refuse to get up. Others said their kids eat so slow it’s like watching paint dry. One listener’s preventative measure? “Get ready the night before is our motto.” (Though Rob wondered — does that mean wearing the uniform to bed?)
Ash’s childhood strategy was… unique.
She’d get herself in the car, start the engine to warm it up, then call the home phone to leave a message for her sister Hannah — who she lovingly described as “the biggest dillydally I’ve ever met.” Her message? “Hannah, come to the car. I’m in the car already.”
Classic Ash. 😂
One listener, Susie, had it especially tough — four kids going to four different schools. Senior campus at one, junior campus at another, one kid at the Catholic school. Imagine coordinating that every single morning.
The truth is, whether it’s slow eaters, heavy sleepers, or sibling dillydallies — getting kids to school on time is a team sport. And sometimes, you just have to laugh about it.
Tune in to Rob and Ash for the Drive Home on weekdays 3pm to 6pm 💛
