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!)

"Cuppa" has nothing on "chum", that is an abuse of the eardrums!

Do people really do the same exact thing every Saturday morning?

Mostly, but only the very first bit of the day, and only when there's nothing specific planned which would make us do something different, e.g. get up earlier.

Guessing nobody has ever brought you a cuppa in bed in the morning. Sorry about that.

Why go to the supermarket with all the families on Saturday morning if you're single?

No morning cuppa for me this morning as I'm fasting for a glucose test but usually we all sit at the breakfast table together for our first cup.

gosh my coffee alone !

DH works every other Saturday (but not today!) so sometimes it feels more rushed, sometimes more leisurely. But always together.

Weekdays and Saturday, I do the morning brews. Sundays my husband does it.

Except at the moment, I am only semi-mobile, so he is doing every day, including 2 so far this morning.

I'm in the gym at 9, so usually coffee by myself.
Sundays are more chilled and we tend to sit and listen to the radio.

No cos life gets in the way, but as often as possible we will have our sat/sun morning drinks together in bed. He makes the first one and I make the second one, then we get up. Both of us wake up early anyway because of our jobs so its probably about 5 or 6am. We're up by 8 ish

Absolutely on my own, every morning.
A sanity saver.

Mostly he brings me tea in bed (& his).
And then we can have a lazy morning in bed together...

We rarely have it together. We aren't usually ready and in the mood at the same time. But, we spend a lot of time together anyway, so it isn't as if this is a rare opportunity for a chat.

I have always eaten breakfast by myself, and since early teens with a cup of tea (though if you call it a cuppa that is fine by me!)

We don't have tea in bed. Sunday morning I enjoy we share a cup at the dinner table before the child shows up.
Saturday morning he leaves (too) early for rugby. No way I get up.

Usually together downstairs. I get up with youngest and get him sorted and usually by then DH is up and we have a cup of tea before breakfast

At weekends Dh always goes downstairs and makes us tea and breakfast, which he then brings back to bed. We have it together in bed.
A second tea a bit later on - he makes and brings me mine in bed. He generally has his second downstairs listening to music or watching tv.

If we aren't away then most weekends for us start the same. Things change if we go away or have people staying, obviously.

Just because pp is single doesn't mean she doesn't have DCs, and working on weekdays. She mentions school runs.

My daughter is a young adult and lives elsewhere.

But this has been a thing we do for years. Only having one child possibly helped as bi fighting etc and she was never an early riser. Once she got to be a certain age Dh took her tea and toast too, until she reached an age when she was in bed asleep til gone lunchtime!

I love nothing better than creeping downstairs for a first peaceful coffee before the brood awake lol

Absolutely! My dp makes the best tea known to man. And love doing wordle or whatever sipping tea next to him

My husband brings me a cup of tea in bed and then he goes down to sort the children out.

I love my peaceful cup of tea in the morning! Heaven!

It's subjective. If it isn't digestive colour, I'm not interested 🤣

Oh sorry. I thought she meant a single household.
