Do you eat in bed?

[JabbaDaButt]

Or allow your DCs to?

We're a no family now, but I've got to be honest and say one of my guilty pleasures as a teenager was to curl up in bed with some snacks and a book 😳

Only if I am unwell.

No, i do let my teenager sometimes though

Never. I don't even have cups of tea in bed.

I used to eat in bed when I was younger but not any more.
Unless like @Arlanymor I'm ill and need to stay in bed.

Yes, and I enjoy it!

Yes & i couldn’t care less. i change the sheets twice a week so its not so bad.

My older children do sometimes. In poor health I have taken a meal in bed too. Sometimes I will have my evening meal in bed just to have some peace after a busy day, but it is a rare treat.
I know some people eat all the time in bed, and others who only eat at the dining table. Whatever suits 🙂

No, early morning coffee only.

And ds isn't allowed to take food upstairs at all. I refuse to spend my weekends pulling cups and plates encrusted with green fur, from under his bed. 🤑

Yes but I live alone and am the only one who has to deal with it.

DH and I never do.

DD and DS (early 20s) will sometimes take food to their bedrooms and I assume often eat in on their bed, if not in their bed.

They need their own private space in their bedroom more than we do.

Personally no. My teens will eat sweets and other snacks they've bought themselves, and during revision we supply them with tea, coffee, the odd biscuit. No one ever takes up a full meal.

Teen bedrooms are living spaces as well as sleeping spaces.

Hell no.

No food upstairs - tho DS (16) is starting to snack while doing homework. I suspect some of that is consumed in bed, but I don't need to sleep in those crunchy sheets!!

No, but DH does all the time. I just prefer to eat on the sofa.

As a kid, yes, on a tray, but now, no. The crumbs.....

No. Dh used to bring me a breakfast in bed on a Sunday but it’s sheets changing day so crumbs weren’t an issue as I always stripped the bed immediately after.
But I’m up and out earlier than him these days on a Sunday. I always found it a bit grim though eating in bed, and not a good example to set to the kids as we’ve always been against food in bed.
The dc might take up some biscuits or crisps but no meals/plates go upstairs, dinners are eaten as a family in the kitchen together.

As a kid in my sanctuary alone every meal. Not ever now. 2 coffees every other Saturday the only day I'm still in bed at 6 am. Very, very occasionally take a coffee to bed.

Only if I'm incredibly unwell.

I do Fairly regularly, never had a spill until this weekend, I have balsamic vinegar stain on the white sheets 😅

No, no food upstairs at all. Only drinks.

No, never. I can't stand crumbs in bed.

I used to when I first moved out of home for some reason - I remember a takeaway curry container leaking and leaving a turmeric yellow stain on some white sheets - what was I thinking

Yes, because I love life and I'm not untidy.

I'm strict with DC because they'd turn their room into a second kitchen.

DH loves tea and toast in bed and when the kids were small they used to live bringing me a bacon sandwich on Mother’s Day which of course I was always grateful for but honestly I prefer a hot bacon sandwich downstairs and a crumb free bed.

No, never have, never will!

Yes, cereal in the morning. Chocolate sometimes. Dinner only if I am poorly or overtired by work

Ooh Saturday morning bacon sandwich in bed is my favourite meal of the week! I will occasionally take a chocolate biscuit or something up with me when DH is on the late shift as I prefer to go up early and watch tv in bed or read rather than sitting downstairs alone.
