I created a
poll on my blog, asking when you make breakfast at home. I'm normally the only
adult up early in the mornings, so I generally deal with every morning meal. I
tend to make things like cereal, toast, PB&Js, sometimes oatmeal or French
toast or eggs.
My annoyance
lately is that when the kids wake up, they practically demand to be fed. ‘I
want food!’ or ‘I want my breakfast now’. I really don’t like being bossed
around, especially by 3, 4, and 7 year olds. I asked my 4 year old niece a few
times: have I ever starved you? 'Well... no.' Then don't order me to feed you.
I'll make your food in a moment. It never takes more than a half hour before
they have food in front of them and are munching away, but I want them to learn
some patience. And that I’m not a short order cook, or maid, or babysitter, who
works for them.
I like to be
fully awake before making anything, personally. Last week, I groggily went to
put milk in their cereal bowls and poured juice in the first one by mistake.
That got dumped out >.< Another habit of mine is getting a load of dishes
washed and started in the dish washer BEFORE making more dirty dishes. That way
at least one load gets done every single morning.
So vote on my
poll, leave me a comment; I need some advice, want some opinions!
Thank you for
reading!
Yours truly,
Liz
