To be annoyed over a tub of egg mayo?

[Squiff70]

Yesterday morning we went shopping. We got lunch supplies for the next few days. I chose egg mayo as a sandwich filler and DP chose deli meats like chorizo.

I've just come to make lunch and found he's eaten my egg mayo. A full fucking tub. He has been known to pile it high on sandwiches but only after he's asked if we can share. This time he didn't ask.

I can't have deli meats due to being pregnant but I don't like them either, so now I have nothing for lunch. I'm fuming.

He's been in the bathroom for 40 minutes so far and has only just got in the shower. Why do men need to take a half-hour poo in preparation? He'll be at least 20 minutes in the shower than at least another 20 minutes after having a shave, so I can't send him out to get something else for lunch. My parents are coming this afternoon and I need a shower before they arrive. Instead I'm looking after our 2 year old daughter in my dressing gown and feeling grubby as well as hungry.

I also need a wee and we have no other barhroom/toilet so I'm getting very irritated.

AIBU?

They went shopping together and chose the fillings they each wanted for their own sandwiches.

Why shouldn't she be cross he's eaten all hers? Especially as he presumably knows she doesn't like his choices.

I can't just go in the bathroom. Our toddler is having lunch. I can't and won't leave her whilst she's eating due to risk of choking.

So take her lunch off her for two minutes while you go and pee then 🙄or take her with you. There's no point playing the martyr.

What are you smoking??!!!

Beans on toast? 5 minute max shower then you can take over with DD while he gets your egg mayo to have tommorrow. You are making heavy weather of things, but he was selfish, I couldn't agree more.

Or another thread where people argue with the OP because they feel like it.

It IS possible to pee in a bucket and tip it down the loo later (if you're on the point of wetting yourself) and if your toddler is so young she can't be left for half a minute she's too young to realise what you're doing.

😂😂

Because that's so much more sane than just going to the loo for thirty seconds and putting the toddlers' lunch out of reach in the meantime, lol.

When I was 8 months pregnant with DD my DH bought curry instead of gravy for my chips. I still haven't quite forgiven him 11 years later!

Things I have so far learned from this thread:

That having a toddler in the house means we need 100 meals options for all three of us at any given time

That I need to plan 75 minutes in advance when I will need to wee so that others can time their bathroom use around my need the toilet

That I, as a mother and partner, am not allowed to choose one option for my own lunches whilst carefully making sure everyone else in the house has what they need for their own

That I need to learn to share a FULL FUCKING FUB of egg mayo and not be permitted enough for one sandwich

That I should keep eggs and mayo in the fridge at all times even though we don't usually use them, for mere inconveniences such as this

That I should have allowed DP his shit and shwank time and taken the toddler to the shop with me for lunch options, unwashed and in my dressing gown, because I was the one moaning about it

That I should inconvenience my elderly and very unwell parents by asking them to stop en route to buy my some egg mayo

That I should cancel said visit from elderly and very unwell parents because my lunch had been inconvenienced

That I should be more organised as a mother and be able to have a shower and do everything else in preparation for visitors whilst looking after a hurricane of a two year old just because her father had eaten my lunch

That people automatically assume that I should have lunch options in for my parents who are visiting mid-afternoon

That I have now inconvenienced a man (shock, horror) by asking him to be a father and help me with childcare so I can shower even though he wouldn't have needed to be inconvenienced if he hadn't been to selfish

That I must learn to "share" food without him needing to ask permission because its what people do, yet its fine for him to eat a FULL tub without sharing with me

That lighthearted threads must always be labelled as such to make it clear that they are intended to be lighthearted

There are more lessons learned here but I just don't have time to list them all.

Maybe, just MAYBE, he shouldn't have eaten a full tub of egg mayo in less than one day then I wouldn't have had ANY of these problems or felt the desire to post a tongue-in-cheek thread about it on Mumsnet.

PS. In case there was any doubt, this post is also intended to be lighthearted.

Yet the vast majority of voters agree with the OP...

If this is a one off I'd point it out then drop it. It does sound like your DH has a habit of it, though.

I do think you need to tell him to eat what he chose, especially as he was aware you couldn't also share what he chose, then send him to the shop to replace it.

A whole tub of egg mayo on one sandwich is excessive for anyone.

This is why I don't live with men, someone would end up dead.

He has been a selfish divvy but you are acting like a martyr

Also where do people buy tubs of egg mayo?

You are the queen, you have the power, only you can perform the magic of birth, so take a breath, calm down and ignore his stupid tantrum and say nothing. Don't let him know he's succeeded in annoying you.

FGS

Eggs shouldn't be kept In the fridge < misses point of thread > and they'll last for much longer than 2-3 weeks

Food shops

I think he was thoughtless eating the whole tub of egg mayo. But I'm really struggling to believe that you went shopping yesterday, and have literally nothing that you can have for lunch. I mean, surely even buttered toast would be OK for one meal? But more than likely you have something else - cheese/ham/marmite/peanut butter/tinned tuna/cup a soup/fishfingers/jam/honey/cereal/fruits/salad/dairylea? Literally none of those things (or the hundreds of others that could make you a lunch?) I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. A more proportional response would have been to crack on and make yourself an alternative lunch, and have a word with him later about not leaving some of the egg mayo for you.

If your parents are old and very unwell, why are they travelling to visit you?

He shouldn't have eaten it, no. Egg mayo in a tub is fucking rank though so he did you a favour. To be fair I think you stopped it being a lighthearted thread with your combative replies.

Fried egg sandwich with salt and branston it is then OP.

In future when choosing your own fillings you both have to ensure that you can eat each other's: if he'd gone for ham or roast chicken you'd be having a lovely sandwich right now!

The DH has been selfish and I would be angry but OP’s replies to people are ridiculously rude. It isn’t “lighthearted” to be rude to people, and then to sarcastically thank people for the “female solidarity”. People would probably feel more like offering female solidarity if you were nicer!

I am pregnant and also now want egg Mayo so thanks for that 😉

Op is pregnant don't you know!

OP YANBU about everything except the eggs and the mayonnaise.

He's yet another selfish man hiding from family life and thinking of no-one except himself.

But I don't understand why you don't keep eggs and mayonnaise in, it's not like they go off quickly.

You wouldn't have to buy it ready made then and you'd use the eggs up, making egg mayonnaise whenever you wanted it.

In short, yes YAB(a bit)U but you are pregnant and knackered and allowed to overreact a bit. Better to rant on here than to DH or to make a scene in front of your parents.

I ate a ton of deli meats during pregnancy. I craved the salt I think.
