[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband likes to make himself a nice breakfast while mine gets cold or I shove calories in my face without noticing [b]because I am jumping up every 2 seconds for the kids or being their only conversational partner too[/b]. Then when his eggs are done the kids are also done and he gets a nice quiet breakfast by himself at the table. I blew up at him about it this morning and I'm still pissed. And this is a guy who does his share of dinners....[/quote]

I don't understand this.  How does this end up happening?[/quote]

He will stand in the kitchen on his phone while waiting for toast to pop or water to boil. I'll be at the table with the kids. [/quote]

No, I don't understand how someone needs to get up every 2 seconds with kids, and views having a conversation with their kids as a burden to whine about.  I get that he's not eating with you, and that's sad, but it's your parenting that is confusing me.[/quote]

You must not have multiple very small kids. They aren't old enough to go into the kitchen and reach to get themselves more food or water, they want to constantly talk over each other and have a parent's full attention and immediate response, they really really want to get up and look for toys instead of sitting down and eating, and they want you to look for that one particular toy RIGHT NOW too, but you would like to finish chewing before telling them no, you're still eating, and please give your brother a turn to talk too.

Believe it or not it takes some time to teach kids to be patient and take turns in conversation and wait for others, although I'm sure yours did it instinctively and never talked over each other or rushed you, because you are a PERFECT parent. Good job, you! [/quote]
