We stayed in a hotel on Saturday night. On Sunday morning a young family sat right near us, having breakfast. Mum, Dad, a little boy of about 5 and a baby girl (about 10m) in a high hair. They arrived at their table, Mum immediately got involved in setting up the highchair, strapping the baby in etc, she then sat the little boy at the table. During this time, Dad went off to the buffet. He came back with a huge pile of food, for HIMSELF .he then sat down and started eating it. At this point mum goes to the buffet, leaving the kiddies with him. He didn't speak to them or acknowledge them at all. Just sat their scoffing!
Mum then comes back with a little breakfast for her son, some juice for him and some toast for the baby...Dad doesn't move... She butters the toast and gives to the baby. She goes back and forth getting various other hits n bobs for the kids and then when they are sorted she returns to the queue to get her own breakfast... She sits in between both kids and, in between the odd mouthful of her own, she's encouraging the baby and chatting to the little boy. cutting stuff up for them etc... Hubby then finished his, undisturbed breakfast and instead of taking over with the kids so that she can enjoy hers, he goes on his phone!!!!! WTF!
AIBU to have thought this was completely selfish and out of order?!
I can't believe that anyone would be so selfish...I couldn't stop watching them.... (Not in a weird way). Lol
I'm older, my kids have grown up, but that wouldn't have happened when mine were small. It's not the norm is it?!
