Kids and Small Hotels and Breakfast Time Nightmares

We're not hassling them, simply walking into the room and sitting down and getting our juice, coffee, cereals and making our toast.... all unseen until the hotel owner comes in on the dot of the right time. He's not even aware we're there 2-5 or more minutes early.

It was ten minutes early a couple of pages ago...

Anyway OP, I've found the perfect house for you! Buy a lotto ticket for Saturday, you never know.

That was me, this morning, at 10 minutes.... until now it's been a creeping earlyness.... my toast hadn't even popped up in the toaster before the next couple came in this morning.

I don't want a remote house ... just to exercise my right to a peaceful breakfast.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but can't you go an hour after breakfast starts? The family will probably be done by then.

I don't think that one was mentioned in the UN convention on human rights...

When I make pancakes, I don't put sugar in them - does anybody?

A decent loaf of bread is hardly full of sugar, either.

I never make pancakes without lots of sugar but I digress.

Bread has lots of starch which is a complex version of sugar. All carbohydrates are essentially sugar. Sugar sugar is simple sugar which generally sends children nuts, whereas complex sugar, like that in bread, breaks down slower and provides energy over a longer time, rather than a short burst.

However, whilst complex sugar is better than pure sugar, it should still be taken in moderation, which is one of the reasons your meant to only have one serving of carbohydrate per meal, and why you should go for wholemeal versions of break and pasta.

It's the same principle with fruit. Fruit is high in sugar, however fruit also has lots of good stuff in it. Therefore you should eat fruit but in moderation.

For breakfast this morning I had: A weetabix with a tube of sugar and some milk. 2 bits of toast, one plastic portion of jam, 2 chipolatas, half a tomato, spoon of beans, scrambled eggs, 2 little glasses of orange juice and 2 black coffees.

I wish they had Frosties....

I'm honestly not lying here......but we had pancakes (made in my waffle maker - I make 4 at a time - Mickey Mouse shaped).

And not even with syrup - we had them with chocolate sauce. My kids said it was the "best breakfast they could ever have"....until I said what about adding some hash browns (we didn't).

The food police are going to arrest me for crimes against children aren't they!

It's only on for one hour.

Have you considered ear plugs?

Ear plugs so you can't hear them.

And your nose in a book so you can't see them.

Stuff some vicks up your hooter and you won't even be able to smell them either.

The sooner you realise and accept that the world is full of inconsiderate people (adults, children, elderly etc) the happier you will be!

I am sometimes gob smacked by how rude and inconsiderate people can be and how some have no concept of the people around them. My neighbours are so noisy and have 4 yappy little dogs that are outside morning until night and bark every 3 seconds without fail, my OH was putting a shed up on Saturday during the day and these neighbours shouted at him to 'shut the f**k up banging!' I couldn't believe their nerve after what we put up with!

Try not to get stressed OP, if it bothers you that much can't you go out for breakfast, I know its annoying when you have paid for breakfast with your room, but if it bothers you that much its always an option!

I don't think it sounds like the children are acting badly, but if you're not use to noise and children and your keep focussing on it you are going to get more wound up!

I've never actually had pancakes (except Shrove Tuesday ones) .... never been anywhere where they were on offer at breakfast. Never seen a waffle maker in action either, nor known anybody have one.

I'd like pancakes/waffles..... but it'd be such a faff just to make one.
