Zuko is an exemplary father. He knows his children love the sea, and while Mom Katara is still sleeping or resting, he takes their little onesβwho have the habit of waking up early just like himβto the beach. Because when they are on vacation, Katara needs to rest; he believes she has every right to, so he takes care of everything.
If the kids want to go for a swim at 7:00 AM, he takes them to the beach and then heads back after about an hour to prepare breakfast for Katara.
Zuko is literally the man of the house, in the best possible way.
