This is how we do it, too. One of us frequently makes a nice brunch on the weekend for all of us (parents and teens) but can't remember the last time we ate it at 9 a.m. (Maybe Christmas or another holiday when we all had other reasons to be up?) Otherwise it's more like 11:30 or noon. The early-rising breakfast-eaters eat cereal when they get up, and everyone is ready for a nicer meal together later.

Firstly of all, teens suck. Second, choose your battles.

+1 to the what other type of eggs are there, that was my first reaction.

+ another 1 to why would you try to force a happy breakfast for kids who don't need or want it? Not sure you're an ahole but you are clueless

+even more to the moms of kids waking at 5am. We are a little past that but not so much that I feel the need to force family time at 9am yet

Racist. You're making assumptions based on race. We're an Asian family, and our teens are free to wake up whenever they damm well want on the weekends.

It's just a way to up the martyrdom. She probably also served hand made toast and poured OJ from a brand new carton. It's not your basic family breakfast.

Agree with the other mom of small children who posted earlier. I can’t wait for my kids to be able to make their own breakfasts.

I don’t you’re an A but I think you set everyone up to fail this morning. Breakfast doesn’t need to be a big deal as far as family time.


You know this isn’t about food, right? This is about OP being lonely and wanting to wake her kids up early on a weekend morning because she’s bored and can’t figure out how to spend her free time alone.

I have scrambled eggs in my fridge now leftover from a DH breakfast. I guess those aren't fresh.
As for 18 year old DS, he's yet to ever eat breakfast.

Yeah YATA. If your kids didn’t need to get up and they had the opportunity to sleep in and you had no amazing after breakfast plans, what were you thinking? The world doesn’t revolve around only your wants and desires. It must be exhausting to be your kids.

I’m confused, do you usually have family breakfast and wake your kids up for it? It’s odd to wake them up morning-of and expect it to go over well. Sure they could have been more amenable but it sounds like you set up an arbitrary goalpost. Let it go.
