WIBU: DH & Sourdough supplies

Just had a row with DH.

Our flour is stored in labelled canisters across two shelves. DH typically moves the plain/sf flours to the higher less accessible shelf when he (daily) tops up his sourdough with bread flour. I know to check the labels carefully before I bake.

I’ve baked three times with the kids this fortnight and will be making pastry tomorrow for a family party. As such, I’ve moved the bread flour up so I could more easily get the sf/plain.

He's just burst in while I’m wfh and barrelled out of the house slamming doors because his pizza dough is ruined as he poured in self raising and he needs to buy more yeast to continue.

He’s now apologised for his temper but is adamant ‘his’ flour should always be kept in the same place.

WIBU to move it?

Can he read?

If not, YABU. If yes, HIBU.

Appears to be broadly literate, I’ve never asked directly I suppose 🤔

YANBU unless you are 6’ tall and your husband is much shorter.
At 5’3” I have to stand on a stool to reach the top shelves. Nobody else in the house needs to do that. Therefore, the things I use the most are on the lower shelves.

YANBU. As he behaves that way he can use his kitchen with his supplies and leave your kitchen alone. He sounds like a 12 yr old.

We do share cooking duties and both work FT

Stupid man-child needs to read the labels. The End.

I think yabu. Is it really that much trouble to get the flour you need down? How inaccessible can it be?

Surely this argument cuts both ways
