1. I’d only do it for my husband not a boyfriend
2. That only applies for older children (preteen and older) little kids I’d make there plate first
My mother made our dad’s plate first and we thought nothing of it. He provided the food and was the protector of the house.
Your kids will grow up and start their own family and once they leave the nest it’s you and your husband. I believe and was raised to know you out each other first. It wouldn’t be a case where the kids eat scraps or hotdogs while my husband had a ribeye and asparagus lol his plate is just made first once they get older. Why is this so looked down on?

Honestly it’s fine in my opinion
If your kid(s) are old enough to get a plate to eat on their own making dads plate first would encourage them to want to eat their food
Like “dad is eating what mom made and I will too”
On the other hand if baby needs to get fed and doesn’t eat independently I would expect dad to feed while his plate is getting made and will take over once he gets his plate

I don't make anyone's plate except little kids. Once they get to be old enough to serve themselves, then everyone makes their own plate in the order they get to the kitchen when I holler dinner

My husband makes his own plate. He knows how much he wants. But I serve the kids first.

My dad was usually the server of the food. So kids got served then my mom and dad. 🤷🏻♀️ Or everyone got their own food once mom got done cooking.
