I’ve never understood the appeal, or how it works.

  • do people just wake up and start consuming food/drink without brushing their teeth & washing their face?
  • if not, do they get out of bed to wash up and then get back in bed to eat!?
  • what’s the appeal? I get liking someone else making your breakfast, but why is having it in bed fun?

    From the perspective of a traditional woman’s role, it’s a luxury offered by a caring husband or child. Women traditionally got out of bed and started breakfast for the rest of the family. Breakfast in bed is a reversal of that role.

    “It’s OK mom/honey. You don’t have to get up today. Stay in bed and enjoy yourself.”

    I think it’s more of trope than a thing people do now days.
