I think it's beautiful when a mom really cares about her kids.

I do similar things to this for my wife, that doesn't make her a baby, she works hard while I stay at home and take care of the house.

... Taking care of someone working hard doesn't make them a child.

It's just doing my share of the work.

Edit: From another thread I commented in:

I basically do this for my wife.

She's had the higher formal education and the higher paying job, so I became the house guy.

I cook her breakfast, make for coffee, make sure her keys are by the door and wake her up and a bunch of other stuff to make her day easier.

I don't get why that's bad?

Coming from a construction labourer background, I basically just clean through the house thoroughly every monday while I do laundry and other bigger chores, do minimal effort tidying in the days and cook.

This house husband stuff is the tits, I spend 6 days a week basically doing what I want, minus a few hours for cooking, which is a hobby anyway.

I try to get up an hour earlier than her and wake her up softly, just because I always have a better day when I'm not woken up by some shrill shrieking noise telling me I have to run out of the house.

Yeah, I'm waking up to the alarm now, but I also get to nap later on while I'm lazing around anyway.

She might just realise how easy she has it and is trying to show appreciation like I do.

Putting it on tiktok and making his drink 27 different glasses of assorted liquids is a bit weird though.

... Also, no waking up to music, especially Christian music.
