Wish I could remember the book title. It was one of the sequels to 2001: A Space Odyssey, the third one I think.

They are free to set an alarm and get up for breakfast and they are free to wake up later and eat cold food. This is the freedom and choice they are given and it's a fair one to impose on adolescents.

She just expects them to be able to warm up leftovers whenever they do get up. Which is totally reasonable. Or they could ask her to wake them up when the food is fresh, but instead they went to wanting her to wait to eat. The onus is on the kids here, not the mom. This is where the whole 'teens are still kids' thing gets tricky. Yes they're not adults, but it's past the age of mom doting on their every meal. Another goon rightly pointed out that this stage is adolescence, not childhood. At this point, they're supposed to be practicing the habit-building of feeding themselves meals so they can be used to it by the time they reach adulthood. You don't just....baby bird to them all their food until 18 and then drop them on their asses. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Jan 19, 2022 |

Otherwise you end up with the kid who enters college not knowing how to do laundry or boil water.

I woke up around 8-9am on the weekends as a teenager, but then I've been a nerd since birth. My mom was always pissed off that I "slept in" that late but she was one of those diary-reading, bedroom-door-lock-reversing type of parent, so not a good barometer.

yeah, yall are right. it's totally reasonable to expect them to reheat their food. i just knee-jerked the opposite way because Saturday morning breakfast was an important tradition in my family; for a while, my dad was working third shift, and he'd bring home Hardee's sausage gravy biscuits every Saturday morning when he got off work. a lot of the time, that was the only time we got to really see him, because he was usually asleep when we got home from school and he wouldn't be back from work yet when we got up to leave. i allowed my personal experience to color my reaction to the situation, and that was wrong, because my personal experience isn't relevant to theirs.

Split a grapefruit after your jog, and have breakfast a family. Most parents would be delighted if their teenagers wanted to share a meal, so make the effort.

Why does crack o dawn pancake mom not just cook for herself and then leave the batter for the kids to cook fresh pcakes for themselves later? If they are too dumb/lazy to fry a drat pancake or two, then they are idiots.

Getting up at 5am on a weekend in order to have more time to do self imposed chores, and one of those is making breakfast for people who aren't up so it can be passive aggressively left cold for them because they're not up as early as she thinks they should be. She could easily just not make breakfast for them.

It's kind of weird that breakfast mom is framing cooking for her kids on the weekend as a "favor." Like, teens can be little shits and you don't have to baby them forever, but it's not unreasonable for them to want to sleep in on the weekend. Just don't make food that's going to get wasted?

Joke was on him for trying too hard and accidentally creating delicious breakfast burritos that heated up great when I wanted lunch.

Growing up, my dad worked and slept. That's pretty much it. He was up for work way before dawn, got home between 7 and 9pm, he'd eat a meal while staring off into space then go to bed. Friday night same, sleep till 3 or 5pm Saturday, eat a meal while staring into space, maybe mow the lawn or something, then back to bed. Sunday wake up, church, come home, nap till dinner, eat, in bed at 8. My perception of the teenager breakfast story was of leaving kids out of a major family activity over a matter of scheduling. If my dad had made breakfast on a weekend and I found out I'd slept through it I would have been crushed. There were precious loving few opportunities to spend time with my dad. Like Chloe Jessica I think my personal lived experience over-colored my perceptions of the OP's family. There's nothing wrong with leaving some food for the kids in the fridge.

spincube posted:...casserole? For breakfast? Y'all don't have breakfast casserole where you're from? There's a lot of different kinds but most involve some kind of egg and potato product. There's also strata which is like savory French toast, so egg and bread. Hash brown casserole is pretty basic but you can get really involved adding sausage, peppers, cheese, etc. It's also extremely re-heatable like all casseroles. I'm on team Mom Cooks When She Feels Like It and Teens Can Figure it Out. Probably because I was expected to help in the kitchen from as soon as I could stand up and by age 12 was expected to completely cook one meal a week for the family. I had to look through a cookbook, choose a main dish and sides, and add the ingredients to the grocery list on Sunday. Then on Thursday I was expected to prepare dinner. I always made enchiladas. By the time I was in high school, Mom had delegated 3 nights to us kids.

Do you feel like it made you more confident and able to actually feed yourself as an adult?

poisonpill posted:How did this work for you growing up? Did you resent it? Do you feel like it made you more confident and able to actually feed yourself as an adult? I think it was a good system, I'm very at home in the kitchen and can cook anything from an involved Thanksgiving dinner to an easy weeknight meal for one. I save a lot of money compared with friends because I don't buy a lot of takeout or prepared food items. Downsides: I am so sick of enchiladas
