Never was breakfast made so noisily before...

And with so much shouting! DH had to slice the bread (Morrisons aren't currently selling sliced bakery loaves, & there's no packaged bread), so the toast is nearly an inch thick. But that's ok, because he let DD butter it, she proceeded to basically mash the butter into the toast, considerably reducing its thickness.
DD was pronounced "wiggy" because DH couldn't see past her immense mop of hair to look for something, & much grumbling was heard from DH as he has evidently realised that the washing up is not accomplished by brownies.

Oh, and the spoon used for stirring my tea, somehow ended up in DD's cereal bowl. But, I have toast. mwahahahahaaaa

Not breakfast in bed as I was the first up. Oh currently cooking sausage sandwiches. My 5 year old has told me she loves me around 20 times this morning and my 2 year old keeps saying happy birthday mommy Grin
Will FaceTime my mom at some point this morning and then enjoy a day in with my kids.
Happy Mother's Day all Thanks

Happy mothers day!! Enjoy your toast.

I'm currently sat on the sofa with ds while watching The Great British Bake Off (again) on Netflix dh is still in bed asleep and probably will be until 11ish.

DS had crumpets and tried to feed me, poor thing has piss poor aim though and shoved it up my nose 😂 he's cute and 8 months old though so I'll let it slide!

Oh that's so cute! I miss the baby & toddler years. (Sometimes. I don't miss the broken nights & endless nappy changes!) DD is nearly 8 so is now at the stage of starting to get moody, cheeky, & answering back.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone! FlowersBrewCake

Happy Mother's Day everyone Thanks

I'm the only one up here, so far! I've had a lovely, relaxing, morning with a cuppa in peace Grin.

This will no doubt change when the girls get up & bicker about which of them is doing what!

Happy Mothers’ Day!

DS2’s fourth birthday today so we did presents at 7. But amazingly both DSs then let us sleep (whilst they watched cartoons (DS1) and played with all the Paw Patrol plastic he got for his birthday (DS2)) so I am feeling very loved. DH was up three times in the night with DS2 (for no obvious reason) so I left him still asleep and am now getting breakfast for hungry boys and me.

Spudlet · 22/03/2020 10:10

DH is crap at that sort of thing, so I’ve had sweet FA. Currently upstairs having a bit of peace and quiet (and perhaps a small sulk).

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 22/03/2020 10:12

Wiggy 😂 aww Happy Mother’s Day OP!

Kathsmum · 22/03/2020 10:15

Al1Langdownthecleghole · 22/03/2020 10:15

Am I allowed to confess that I think Mother’s Day consisting of board games, tele and a dog walk is great?

Peanutbutteryogurt · 22/03/2020 10:16

I got pancakes! Not in bed as I hate eating in bed. I was also made a cup of tea with vanilla soya milk 🤢 we had normal milk.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

Happy mothers day!!

I got a toasted hot cross bun and a cup of tea in bed (mostly DH's work, DD can't be trusted to walk upstairs with food and drink yet), a lovely homemade card and plenty of cuddles from nearly 8-year-old DD.

She has also promised to do my makeup later. Good job I am taking the government advice seriously and have no plans to leave the house Grin

Meruem · 22/03/2020 10:22

DD gave me the best gift of all, a bottle of wine Grin
Her card said on the front "Have a mothers day to remember" so we had a laugh over that!
Happy Mothers Day to all Flowers

Rockbird · 22/03/2020 10:31

DD2 gave me a card she'd made me containing a list of the the dinners I make that are her favourites Grin

AwdBovril · 22/03/2020 10:39

Oh Lord, the idea of letting DD do my makeup is just... I barely trust me to do my makeup!

I was a bit sceptical of DH's decision to let DD carry my breakfast upstairs. But the tea was in my insulated lidded cup. And the toast suffered no mishap (that I'm aware of... OMG now I'm worried!) HmmGrin

Got up at 6 with the baby, toddler woke at 6.30. OH stayed in bed till 8.30 then had leisurely shower including shave. Reminded him it’s Mother’s Day and he wrote in the card I bought yesterday for myself before calling his mum leaving me to look after the kids. We’re meant to be having a picnic but I’m refusing to do all the work and OH can’t do anything unless I’m directing him so probably not going to happen.

Skybluepink123 · 22/03/2020 11:22

I got breakfast in bed which was lovely. Although teenage DS was hovering by his bedroom door just waiting for me to finish so he could go back to sleep. The DCs were thoughtful and wrote some beautiful words in their cards and my teenage daughter had organised a special piece of jewellery from everyone. I cried with joy but also anxiety for my precious family who I so desperately want to keep safe and well at this awful time. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. 💐🍫🍰🍷

Oldraver · 22/03/2020 11:23

I had coffee and crumpets. The crumpets did taste a little lacking

Then OH told me DS made them so they probably only had a normal amout of butter on rather than OH's mega thick. Grin

Theyrecomingtotakemeawayhaha · 22/03/2020 11:30

Had poached eggs on toast and a cup of tea.I am having a 'special'diner tonight.I know more or less what it is as we did the shopping together.
Teens are great at Mother's day and I dont miss the days of 'sharing'mothers day breakfast when she was small.A child can make croissant crumbs like no other and the bedding(jam!,) always had to be changed and the bed and room hoovered before it could be used again.
