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 😳

Very rarely! I don’t really like breakfast in bed!

Day to day, I certainly wasn’t allowed to eat in bed as a child. And we didn’t allow our children to eat in bed either.

However, showing my age, a plate of three marmite crackers and a glass of Lucozade was occasionally allowed when recovering from illness.😃. And the best bit was being allowed to look through the amber coloured paper 😀

No,unless unwell

I love eating in bed. Cereal usually so no crumbs. I love getting up, feeding the cats and getting my breakfast and getting back in bed to eat it.

No never, I hate it, no food or drink (except water)

So how do people feel about eating in the bath? I almost always have a shower instead of a bath, but on the very rare occasions I do have a soak in the bath, it wouldn’t be the same without a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich. 😆

Hot drinks and things like chocolate or biscuits sometimes, as a kind of self care treat. Would not enjoy breakfast in bed at all, never understood why it's seen as such a special indulgence.

I have breakfast in bed every day. I wouldn’t eat crumbly food.

How messy of an eater are all these crumby mumsnetters!! I eat in bed regularly, shared house with a kitchen but no living area (first house share post uni) so all meals are upstairs !

The only time I eat in bed is if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't sleep because I'm hungry. I'll make toast or have cheese and crackers, make a cup of tea and take it all back to bed. Breakfast in bed isn't tempting for me at all though.

Tea in bed every morning and tea and toast on Sundays. Bliss!

I drink tea but no I loathe crumbs in bed

No. No food or animals in bedrooms here.

Yes, @DeanStockwelll , sounds like we should get right on our mini-vac invention ...the perfect Christmas gift for those crumb-adverse Mumsnetters...Until then, crumbs don't bother me since I just sweep them off the bed with my hand.. Of course I hoover them up later. I sometimes have chocolate in bed in the middle of the night if I can't get right back to sleep. Unfortunately, on occasion, I've fallen asleep whilst indulging, and woke up with melted chocolate all over the sheets, in my hair, etc.(OK, I admit it, I tend to be a bit of a slob, but I'm old now and can take certain liberties since my grown DCs are out of the house...YOLO!)
My DH brings me coffee and a pastry in bed most mornings, too, which I enjoy whilst scrolling through MN.
Never allowed my DCs to eat upstairs, nor did I when they were small.

Only when unwell. Or on holiday I've bought chocolate caramels and ate them while reading in bed.

Livin' it up!

This post has made me think - haven’t had breakfast in bed for years, not even on my birthday. DH & I have a cuppa in bed some mornings & he brings me one before he goes to work on other days. The only time I eat in bed is when I’m poorly.

Never - no food upstairs

No, never. No drinks in bed either.
I go to bed when I want to sleep, and there's nothing worse than laying around in bed once I'm awake.

I actually had a physical reaction to this! It made my eyes water! Breathe, breathe, breathe!

no, never, reminds me of being in hospital. Even tea in bed is a step too far.

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

never. Kids don’t either.
I remember a work colleague tell me that her and her dp would eat a kebab in bed after a night out. That made me feel very unsettled.

Drinks yes. Food absolutely not. We are a no food upstairs house

God no. The crumbs :/

I took to my bed when lockdown began, with the kids, and we just lived our lives in my bed. It’s a habit that has lasted. We did crafts together, read together, did their work there.

Food wise, it’s my damn bed and I will eat whatever I want there but generally don’t eat fish or things with sharp crumbs, just in case. The kids aren’t allowed unless it’s dry and non-crumby, like bananas.

Not generally but last time I had some awful cold virus I had a cuppa in bed with some biscuits and it felt so indulgent!
