AIBU to be so enraged about reckless egg usage??

[Polkadotpjs]

D(debatable)H made himself and son eggs yesterday for breakfast despite my slightly worried “have you counted how many we have?” He’s just cooked 4 more for himself and son leaving youngest and me (I’m always last to be thought of anyway) with none. I wanted to bake today. Eggs last longer in a cake right?! . He’s so selfish with food. Just takes what he wants even if it’s the kids’ stuff. Never thinks to replace it or if it might be needed e.g. drinks all the milk then wonders why there isn’t any for coffee. He thinks I’m being a drama queen as he can just pop to shops. And this is why I’m stressed. I don’t want any of us going out unless we have to. And we don’t HAVE to if we eat sensibly. We had a huge row on Monday so I may still be harbouring rage about that. Tell me if any of you have selfish partners. I’m thinking about one previous OP whose OH ate all the treats and her posh biscuits.

Mine does this, no thought about whether anyone else might need what they're eating. He promises to replace whatever it is (although usually doesn't). He would happily go to the shop 3 times per day and can't get into his head that we need to minimise risk.

There are no eggs in the shops here. I got some through the milkman.

No eggs or flour in our local supermarkets for couple of weeks now. Now I can’t go to the farm shop ( I assume shopping around is banned now) I’d be upset if this happened too.

We go through 45 eggs a week and I have the trays delivered with my milk round. They are still able to get the eggs and deliver my usual amount.
Have you had a look go see if your area has a milk round with extras? Ours do milk, cheese, eggs, breakfast packs of sausage, black pudding, potatoes scones and bacon, and butter. It's great!

Eggs in abundance here but no flour, so no cake. I am saving what little flour i have for an emergency.

I’d be annoyed too, eggs are also like gold dust here. At one point I was googling powdered egg.

There are loads of egg free cake recipes online, although I appreciate some may use ingredients you may not have in.

So enraged on your behalf I didn't even RTFT which I normally do.
YANBU. This fecking eating of everything without checking drives me nuts. Things that apparently grow spontaneously in our cupboards: milk, tea, toilet paper, eggs, cooking oil. And right now is special circumstances since it's not as easy to "pop" anywhere and there is a greater risk that things run out.

It's my first DC's first birthday next week and I had my heart set on baking him his first birthday cake. He loves bananas so was going to make a big yellow banana cake. Why have people gone nuts and bought ALL the flour and eggs? I'll be gutted if I can't do this for him.

Wow the inability of posters to see past their own personal circumstances is just amazing here...
"plenty of eggs by me therefore there is no egg shortage"
"I have a farm shop i can just pop to so so can everyone else" (ignoring the fact that "just popping" to multiple different little shops is hardly meetings the guidelines of shopping as little as often, for necessities
....and as for the poster who thought that you should just be glad that your dh GOT HIMSELF UP and FED HIS OWN CHILD (Only one of them though) wow....how low are the expectations?

Yes, he was selfish. If you've already had your share of something then of course its selfish to finish it off when other members of the household haven't had any, whatever the item is.

No eggs here either. Well that's not true. Went to Sainsburys and they haven't had any since at least Friday when I last shopped. Tried to make my shopping last 6 days but we eat lots of eggs and milk. Then went to Waitrose and they had an abundance with no limits and I left some on the shelves.

Think it depends on where you shop.

I'd be annoyed too, because food should be shared out fairly in a family. I wouldn't be making cakes though, I would have made an omelette or egg sandwiches for everyone.

There is no egg shortage

I can’t get any! I tried several times last week and the twice I’ve been out this week..... no eggs.

No egg shortage! I have a whatsapp group of people living in south London who are helping each other out with where to find eggs (before lockdown) as Peckham, Streatham, Croydon, Catford, Brockley and Brixton were pretty much all out.

I sell eggs from my hens I have in the garden, I have a little stand and an "honesty" box, never had any problems. The last few weeks I have had a spate of egg theft! And had an email last week from the place I reformed them from (ex caged hens) warning that some people have had their hens stolen and to take extra security measures!

DD gobbled up the last eggs in our house yesterday. I didn't buy any in Aldi when I went last weekend because they were from caged hens and I'd rather not eat eggs than eat them from caged hens. I'd love to bake a cake today but won't be popping to any shop to see if they have eggs because it's not essential.

Will use all the milk for his breakfast and leave none for me or my sons cereal, he'll make his breakfast first and then decide to sort out our 3 yo.
Surely the only thing this proves of that you don't have enough milk for everyone and need to plan your food shop better? If it happens once a year, ok. But if this is a regular occurrence the problem is primarily lack of organisation.

He sounds selfish but if he's always been like it then why did you expect anything else?

There is no egg shortage
We have been rationing them in store for 2 weeks! After the loo rolls and Dettol.wipes eggs were the next big thing! People were trying to clear the damm shelves 5 boxes of 15 at a time! Ridiculous.

Of course its selfish he isnt the only person in the house. Everyone could have had a share but he used 8 in 2 days!
Op.has said she can only get 6 eggs at a time someone using 4 at a time 2 days running is bloody greedy.
He doesnt need to be popping to the shop for eggs every day it kind of defeats the whole 'necessary' part of all this.

Everyone needs to be pulling together to make food last to stop 'poppng' to the shops often.
Why excuse selfish behaviour? I have to remind my teens sometimes but i would expect an adult to know not to drink.all the milk or eat all the biscuits etc.

And i live in the country there is no farm shop here for 20 miles so hardly classed as a necessary journey! I wish there was.

Op you need to spell it out how you need to manage food just now (you shouldnt have to but he is obviously not getting it) and about popping out for one item is ridiculous and against guidelines and risks you all.

Elektra no it proves to me that he's a shit and selfish parent. I would expect any parent to feed their children first and then share out what is left between the adults.
But I guess from your post you've always had access to a limitless supply of food, where you can just go out and buy more whenever you need it, and life just isn't like that for everyone, even in a prosperous country such as the UK.

We aren't get eggs anywhere here.

Got everything else, but the eggs are always sold out.

I only shop once a month in NHS happy hour and then I don't go out at all not even for exercise because I'm at enough ris already working in a hospital. I'd be fucking pissed off if I lived with someone who guzzled all the food without even considering anyone else.

I discovered mine has eaten his way through all the pasta and passata over the last few weeks, while I was working away, rather than eating the home made meals in the freezer as instructed.
Fortunately I have a 5Kg sack of rice. He doesn't like rice

Cake is necessary, it will always be necessary

There were four eggs left and he ate them all without checking if others wanted them and during a time where there is a shortage and we are supposed to stop going outside?

He's a fucking selfish prick.

This is really inconsiderate and you shoudl be planning together, he shouldn't leave it all to you

My "D"H also just eats whatever he fancies whenever he fancies - drives me fucking bananas. Especially when it's stuff for DC - which is EVEN IN ITS OWN LABELLED BOX IN THE FRIDGE (a futile attempt to keep DH away from it). I think its the thoughtlessness that pisses me off more than anything.

Just an aside - you dont need eggs to make biscuits :)
