[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We run a short order service in the AM. Wake up kid2. Kid1 is already up. Ask what they want. Kid1 always wants leftovers. Warm something up. Kid2 wants a baked thing or cereal. They eat staggered about 10 minutes. Sometimes they want eggs.

I just need to keep my A game in the evenings so that we have leftovers and muffins. Makes mornings easy. [/quote]

Similar here. Kids used to eat together but now have different school times so one eats before the other, but a parent always sits with the first one or is at least around to talk to, and then parent eats with the second kid before taking them to school. First kid usually wants oatmeal or eggs - easy and quick to make while doing other morning chores like unloading the dishwasher. Second has a much bigger range, from leftovers to fruit to oatmeal, but that is also quick. Kids give their "order" the night before so we know what we're making. Parents also eat quick things, yogurt or oatmeal or leftovers.

Both kids have always liked breakfast and eat most at breakfast and lunch, rather than dinner. If they hated it, it might be different. I won't say it isn't a bit rushed, but that's because kid #2 is a dawdler. If they weren't dawdling at breakfast they'd be dawdling with something else. It is always a rush to get that one out the door no matter the occasion or time of day![/quote]
