Lol, seems like I am in the minority by liking the early start. And I don't do nannies...my young children are quite good at getting up and ready in the morning...I get up first and swim for half an hour then check the markets before we have breakfast together. I like to ride with the children to school and take them in to their teacher. I get back home, go to my office and start work by 7.30.

We have afternoons together after they get home around 12.30pm and then I have my evenings to myself as they go to bed by 7.30.

Seems to work well for us.
