Sorry I think you are being unreasonable. We all tend to get our own breakfast here. My Dhh would cook me breakfast if I asked him and often makes me a cup of tea/coffee. But I wouldn't expect him to cook me breakfast when he does his. Actually we hardly ever have a coked breakfast but thats beside the point.

Mumeee do yor lot just help themselves to a bowl of cerial or toast? cos thats not unreasonable to not offer anyone else, but to cook a full english and not offeer for anyone else id very selfish

Tinkerisdead · 27/10/2008 11:03

i agree scarey, its not the cooking of it, its the offering i wouldnt make a cup of tea without offering to anyone else let alone a meal!

If he has a week off, was he up with you all or had you already had breakfast before?

Some people are just a bit ignorant, especially in the early morning. Maybe he assumed you'd come into the kitchen and ask if you wanted something?

Breakfast tends to be a family meal here at the weekends. In the week DH is gone before DS and I are up. At the weekend we always have a cooked breakfast - DH always cooks for us all. I would be peed off not to have been asked. It's just rude.

And I would never make a cuppa without asking DH if he wanted one. And vice versa.

ScareyBitchFeast · 27/10/2008 11:16

no - no one had had breakfast - it is half term -
the smell was loverly - i know it is a hassle - and he wanted to get out of the house - i came into the kitchen to make toast and cereal for the dc's - imagine my surprise
okay it is not a serious issue - but it is my rant for the day moment

My children are all older now. But yes my Dh would have cooked them breakfast when they were litle. But as I've said we all tend to have breakfast at different times and I would not expect anyone to just cook me breakfast. But Dh and I will both cook each other breakfast occansionly.

thumblesswitch · 27/10/2008 11:27

my DH mostly would have offered if I was up and about, or likely to be - sometimes he forgets to offer at weekends and I whinge a bit and say it must have been nice to have bacon for breakfast (he is quite capable of cooking it and eating it before I have finished getting self and DS ready)

But if there is little chance of me being up and about, e.g. in the working week, he wouldn't bother offering and I wouldn't expect him to.

So No, YANBU, he could (and should) have offered.

BexieID · 27/10/2008 11:36

We have bacon rolls for lunch on a sunday if i'm not working and even though I usually ask DP if he wants me to make his for him, he does whinge/complain to Tom when I just bring mine in, and he's said no.

BloodyStranglingwithBling · 27/10/2008 11:47

"haven't you ever made a cup of tea for yourself without offering everyone else".

No,I haven't. And neither has DP. It simply wouldn't occur to either of us. We're partners, not housemates.
