Mom may want brunch for Mother’s Day but data shows that most dads would rather eat at home and spend time with their children on Father’s Day.

According to a survey from YouGov, a research data and analytics group, 42% of American dads say enjoying a meal at home is their top activity pick for the holiday, and secondarily would like to be taken out for a drink.

That means it’s up to the kiddos to figure out what Dad wants and make a meal he’ll enjoy.
