That if you're a dad in a family of 4 and you make yourself breakfast

[ShamefulPlaceMarker]

then you should make it for the rest of the family too? Especially on a weekend, when everyone up.

I got up with kids at 7, switched telly on, made them a cup of milk and a brew for me and dh, which I took to him in bed.
I sat down, fiving myself time to drink my tea and wake up before I make kids breakfast.
Dh gets up, comes and sits next to me with marmite on toast and asks me to look for train times on my phone.
I ask him where my toast is? He gets arsy and asks me why the kids haven't had breakfast yet, as apparently, according to him they should have it as soon as they wake up. Yeah fair enough on a weeksay but it's 7:15 on a saturday and we have no plans this morning!
I got arsy and said he could have done it when he made his toast, he told me to f@#k off so I told him to find his own traintimes and left him to go make porridge for the kids.

Was he an arse for just making toast for himself?

Yep.

Dh makes us all breakfast on a weekend. today he bought pastries He leaves for work before we get up on weekdays so its his turn.

The bed later = sleep later thing only works here over the Christmas holidays when no-one is getting up and out. even then we have a couple of days of extreme grumpiness before they give in to the lie in.

Tychos my five and three year old will go down by themselves and play for a bit, they have done for about a year now. We can get an hour out of them sometimes. It was more like 30 mins in the early days. They help themselves to the fruit bowl.
They have toys and books in the front room and the 5 year old has learned how to put the TV on, though can't always find the channel they want.
Often they put Storage Hunters on.

In our house the rule is whoever is up with the Kids gets breakfast for them.

It's usually me as I struggle to get up later than 6am. So I am usually the first up.

I managed to sleep in so dh got the kids up and I got up and got my own breakfast. Never even thought about the kids breakfast tbh.

Dh would do the same.

Yes mrsamaretto
Neither of us are very good at lie ins. But with his schedule, and me being a sahm we make up for chill time during the day.

notso I guess some 2yo are more trustworthy than others. If mine was left alone for an hour he'd have destroyed the remotes, emptied the cupboards and climbed into the fireplace.

If that had been us, I'd have picked up a piece of his toast off the plate and stuffed it down as quickly as possible

He wouldn't just fix himself food and eat away without any thought about me and DS tho, he'd have at least asked what we wanted.

Neither of us would make something for ourselves without checking if the other wanted some too. I think that's basic good manners.
