To ask if you have your Sat morning cuppa with or without your DH/DP

[WhatwouldStevieNicksthink]

Ignore the poll - I don't know how to disable it!

Was chatting to a chum and she said she loved starting the weekend with a cup of tea in bed with her DH.

Not us! DH brings me a coffee then goes downstairs to have his whilst reading his book.

I scroll mindlessly through MN. What about you?

(I never say chum or cuppa in RL!)

We have a really good coffee shop near us so DH goes and gets me two flat whites and I have them in bed. He gets himself a roll and bacon, makes tea and sits in kitchen reading the paper

It's just me and the cat in bed , bliss

Usually in bed together. For some reason, the whole household being ill has meant DP has rushed off this morning to get some wood 🤨 so I'm having mine alone.

Tbf he is bringing breakfast back.

Threads like these make me realise how different my life is to most people
on here. Despite being a parenting site most people on here get to have a “cuppa” in peace! Where are all those who get woken at 6am and wrestle through breakfast and mess and chaos, whilst there coffee gets cold?
ps I hate the word cuppa.

Mine are late teens now, but tbh I don't remember it ever being like that. Maybe I'm looking back through rose-tinted specs though!

We have always drunk tea in bed in the morning. It’s close to 30 years now. Retired now so it’s a long cup of tea, sometimes more and we chat while we read online newspapers and forums. I remember when it was wrestling with The Times in bed.

DH has made more cups over our marriage.

@Nespressso Children sat in bed with us or when very small used to crawl round playing with toys. We used to watch Dick and Dim in da Bungalow on Saturdays when DS was small, very happy times.

DS is 19 now and doesn't surface till around 12, we are past all the early morning chaos

Either DH or DS bring me coffee in bed on Saturdays. Every time it makes me v happy.

I’m up very early, so first cup of tea is with the dogs at my feet, before we go for a walk.

Best company ever.

Not touchy at all. Just wondering why you asked. You seemed so surprised. 🤷‍♀️

Either or. He sometimes works a Saturday. Sometimes we'll have it in bed together. Sometimes we'll get up and have it downstairs whilst pottering around. A lot depends on what time the kids are up and asking for breakfast too.

The flat whites have arrived, heaven

Yeah! Every weekday morning my husband is up at about 4.30am and so we don't see him, I'm up at 6am and DS at 7am. We rush around getting ready for work and school and spend the rest of the week at work etc. you can shoot me if you think any of us are rushing about on a Saturday morning - I have enough variety in the week and Saturday is for the three of us to sit and chat over a cup of tea and not one of us has a rush in us!

I'm usually an early riser so my morning cuppa is usually me and the dog.
On the odd occasion I sleep in dh goes off to pick up the click and collect tesco order and I put the kettle on and we have a cuppa together.

Lazy mornings with DH - tea in bed (he makes it), news on TV, scrolling iPads, and putting the world to rights.

Boring it may seem, but when I consider how other people's lives and homes have been destroyed by world events, I really value these mornings.

Yes we have 5DC but our youngest is 17 so the weekends are a lot more relaxing than they used to be,unless our DGS 5 is staying with us then we're generally woken up by 8.30 whilst he jumps on Grandad and pretends to be a Dinosaur by roaring at me(he's trying to scare the bejesus out of me)because he thinks its hilarious if it makes Nana sqeaul😆he's a little monkey.

DH is proud of his coffee making skills so he always makes us both coffee in the morning and we sit and drink it together.

Why? It's the most common way for people to refer to hot drinks, covers tea or coffee if you don't know which people drink.

Coffee on the sofa with my DH, and kids snuggled in with us with their hot chocs 🫶🏽

I set my alarm so I can get up and have a coffee on my own in peace. No TV, no radio, just absolute silence.

On Saturdays and Sundays I have two before getting the kids up for breakfast.

The word Cuppa should be banned!

In bed together, cup of tea, both on our phones, showing each things we think the other would find interesting.

Me too. Love watching it get light, birds and squirrels livening up the garden. Apart from Sunday mornings when the husband brings me coffee in bed.

I'm usually up first so have one downstairs then when he wakes up il make us both one and go up and have it in bed together and chat then we get up and organised for whatever we are doing on a Saturday and Sunday. During the week he's up first for work so brings me one up when he wakes me up. Obviously this wasn't the case when our kids were little.

I don't have a cuppa first thing, always breakfast first and I never eat or drink in bed so I come down and eat breakfast and then make myself a cuppa, I'll make DH one if he's around so it varies.

Would love to have it in silence before everyone gets up. In reality, I'm usually drinking it at the same time as running about seeing to dcs, or after they're sorted I'll make mine.
In reality I'm so used to it though, I don't know if some days I'd want it any other way! Seeing their faces makes my morning.

Really? I always think of a cuppa as specifically tea (although I don't say it). For some reason I'd mostly say 'a cup of tea', but just 'a coffee' rather than 'a cup of coffee'. Maybe that's just me though!
