Do you get dressed before breakfast?

We don't. We tend to get up, wash faces brush teeth and go downstairs for breakfast. This came about (I think!) because of FS when he was a wee lad. And he got his clothes messy at breakfast.

Anyway, we then go back up and dress etc. We shower in the evening most of the time.

What do you do?

On a work day I get up, shower, get dressed then go downstairs for breakfast.
On a weekend or holiday day I mooch around in my PJs for as long as I can get away with!
Dcs are the same.

I actually don’t know any working adults who have breakfast before leaving for work, it is normally feed the kids, grab a coffee and go. So bemused by these answers,

Always up and dressed before 7am

I always fall out of bed into the shower, then get dressed, then get breakfast.

Notplayingball · 23/08/2022 21:24

I always make time to be up early to drink a pot of tea. Can't beat it😂

I don’t eat breakfast ever, but I always have a shower before going downstairs. Same for rest of fam.

I hate being up in my sleepwear. Dh and always shower and dress before having breakfast.

DD stays in pjs on weekends, up to her. During the week she showers and gets dressed before she eats otherwise she runs out of time.

Dressed first on school days, so DC love it when we don’t have to.

I get dressed. I can’t function properly otherwise.

The dc have breakfast first. But dd goes through phases of getting dressed first, and if ds is lying in bed too long he has to get dressed and eat breakfast in the car.

During holidays I don’t care in the slightest who wears what when and they get their own breakfast.

Nah Even when I'm working I have breakfast first! I'm worried I'm going to get breakfast down myself I can be a messy eater. Since lock down on weekends and days I'm not working I'm more likely to put on leisurewear when I'm just staying at home anyway. Realised it's much more comfortable

During the week yes, weekends no. Basically because I'm lazy and once I'm downstairs I stay down.
I used to hate it that my husband always got dressed before he went downstairs on a weekend , though he often went to the gym early so he'd just throw on a t shirt and shorts. I liked the idea of taking the time to laze about with a nice breakfast then getting dressed to go out with the family later, or not.
But now I'm just feeling what if someone comes to the door?
