Would you make breakfast for an ex?

[Elizanotlittle]

I like the sentiment. But abuse aside.

Would you make breakfast for your ex on their Birthday?

I probably would not mind but I think if it was the other way round, if my partner was making if for his ex I would be a-bit jealous.

Maybe it's better for a clean break? Bit to act sensibly infront the kids but then we are all human.

I actually still see my exes daughters ( dd half sisters). My partner is understanding. I don't know whether I would be.

Hmm torn.

Personally, I think it’s sending the kids mixed messages.

And the last person I would like to see on my birthday morning is my ex.

I have no idea where he is, so no.

My ex had breakfast with myself, our DC, my new DH and his DC every Sunday when he came to collect the children. We looked forward to it. He also ate with us one night a fortnight. But, if DH suggested his ex joined us, there would be World War 3!

I think it would depend on the ex, and why you broke up. My mum has made my dad breakfast (in her house though, with stepdad sat at the same table getting his at the same time). When I see my ds's dad, I automatically think "not today Satan ✋", so atm, nope.

I think the point is that he's helping his children make breakfast for their DM, he's not making breakfast for his ex.

Maybe he doesn't stay to share it.

I think it sounds great. Yes it depends on the people involved but for the purposes of this I think we must assume he is a normal person and that this is wanted.

I like the idea. I'm glad that he is teaching his children to be thoughtful and to cook.

I just hope he;s teaching them to clean up afterwards as well.

I am separated from my children’s father and have been for most of their lives. When they were young they used to get very upset that they couldn’t buy me presents or make me breakfast for mother’s day. Even when I told them repeatedly that it didn’t matter. They didn’t want me to do it but they couldn’t do it alone. They would have loved their father to help but he wasn’t local. There’s no suggestion in the Fb post that the ex hung around to have breakfast with them all either.

Anyway we all get on fairly well now and from time to timehave dinner together. I know not everyone can be in the same situation but if it’s possible to be civilised then it’s much easier for the children to manage.

I never made him breakfast when we were together,so no way would I do it for him now,if I ever saw him again.

I would do and have done in the past for my ex. He has done it for me too.

It's not really for the parents, it's for the children.

I agree with the sentiment but the guy is just so smug. Look at me, I'm so mature and awesome.
