Updated: Does your husband make you breakfast?

Lauren

Update: I forgot I posted this. Anywho, once the kids were settled I talked to me husband about it. He told me he doesn’t ask because I’m to picky with the way I like my eggs cooked. I told him I would still appreciate it if he extended the offer to me, even I don’t want eggs, because I feel excluded when he doesn’t. He understood and agreed to be mindful when making breakfast or doing something that I might want to be included in.

My husband is the stay at home parent. Most mornings I make my breakfast to bring to the office, get the kids breakfast together, ask my husband if he wants anything (he usually declines and just has coffee), then run to the office.

But when my husband makes breakfast, like eggs or pancakes or something, he makes it for the kids and himself. He literally doesn’t even ask if I want anything. He doesn’t make anything for me. It kind of drives me crazy.

Today I’m working from home and my husband made eggs for him and the kids. He’s getting the table set and cooling off the youngest’s food while I’m distracting the youngest from seeing the food(he gets very upset if he sees food and isn’t instantly eating). My oldest points to the other plate on the table and says “Did you want to sit down and eat with me, mommy” I looked at the plate and said “I’m sorry bud, that’s daddy’s plate”. There were only plates for my husband and oldest. My oldest then asks “where’s yours?” To which I had to explain, daddy didn’t make breakfast for mommy.

It’s irritating that my kid is starting to notice. Why am I being excluded from breakfast? Am I crazy?
