Why does it have to be a fight!

every morning my oldest two kids give me a fight. A fight to eat, get dressed, teeth brushed, etc. I always wake them up at the same time every morning, everything is exactly the same. I wake them up at 6:30, I give them breakfast, brush their teeth and then get them dressed, but every time my oldest fights me to get up, to eat, to sit still, etc. my daughter always takes her sweet time to eat, she always eats so slow. It could take her an hour to eat one banana. I love my kids, but I just don't understand how the same thing we do everyday could be so hard.
