Wow. While I agree it is important to respect one's parents, I also believe they have to behave like adults, not throw tantrums.

I believe my response would have been "Yes? Is there something wrong?", and lacking a response, would have continued to make my morning drink of choice.

If there was a response, I would have treated it with as much seriousness as it warranted.

Otherwise I would ignore any glares, make whatever I needed in the kitchen, and not acquiesced to any demands without a clear reasoning as to why.

Parent or not.

After the fact, I would ask what was wrong if they weren't communicative at the original time, and coverse about it, if necessary.

But I don't take guff or commands from anybody under my roof, whether they slept bad or not. If they can't communicate, I'm not a mind reader, and they get no truck from me.

But I'm also 6'1", 220lbs, and not afraid of communicative confrontation, so...I may have an edge in that.
