Question: I am at the end of my tether with my three children. They are eight, 11 and 13 and every morning it is a giant battle to get them up out of bed and ready for school. I have tried everything – I have their clothes laid out, their breakfast on the table, their bags packed and their lunches made. I have the type of job that has no flexibility – I am a PA to a very busy man who has no interest in excuses.
