To have my own eggs?

DH asked for eggs with some other bits so he could cook.
I ordered them from co op. Anyway he's cooking now and he's taken my Burford browns. AIBU to say he should leave mine alone and crack on with the co op free range ones?

His excuse he saw them and they looked better and I can get some another time. But he isn't actually going to go to the shops for them.

In my defence I do share them with my toddler.

Haven't you got anything more important to squabble about? Eggs? Ffs!

AloysiusBear · 08/11/2022 17:35

Definitely LTB. If he wanted Burfords he should have specified Burfords.

ancientgran · 08/11/2022 17:35

I don't know what a Burford egg is, well I know it's an egg but that's it. I don't know if that makes it better or worse but LTB seems to be standard advice on here so LTB.

Really hope this is a joke that I don't get??
I would always share all food with my husband
Except white munchies

OneTC · 08/11/2022 17:36

Why would you buy a box of eggs you don't like?

White Munchies? I never knew these even existed!!!

Feel like a trip to Tesco coming on!

hesbeingabitofadick · 08/11/2022 17:39

I can't have any egg any more...they make me 🤢 (and worse)
They were my favourite snack, lunch, breakfast...<sob>

Make your DH replace your eggs OP.

britneyisfree · 08/11/2022 17:44

It's just that he doesn't care what eggs he has so why have my special ones.

He'd never go out and buy them but if he sees something he likes in the cupboard he just has it Halloween Hmm

Did you know you can get pick and mix eggs at M&S. I don’t have the money for them but went and looked!

britneyisfree · 08/11/2022 17:56

@user1471462428 no I didn't. Wouldn't mind checking it out if they've got different types of fancy eggs

Totally thought this was going to be a surrogacy or ivf thread.

Face it OP this relationship is ova.

I have my own eggs, the golden yolk ones. Burford Browns at Christmas. Regular eggs will do for my partner!

Theydoyaknow · 08/11/2022 18:01

WHITE MUNCHIES?????????

RibbetyRib · 08/11/2022 18:05

I actually have my own cupboard of things that are specifically for me (including eggs), because if I don't, it all gets eaten before I even get a look in. DH can have things from there providing he mentions first as otherwise I could be intending to have it later that day etc. I would be v. unhappy if my eggs were used!

ArtfullyCrumpled · 08/11/2022 18:09

I have the same issue with my DH @britneyisfree. Get your hands off my beautiful fresh local free range eggs.

Help yourself to co-op ones for mixing up the yolk and over-cooking in the frying pan.

stopbeeping · 08/11/2022 18:10

The white munchies are the most addictive things ever
I buy 4 packets a week

Felicity Cloake from The Guardian did a taste test of various eggs.
She concluded that they all tasted, err, eggy.

If you don't want to share with DH, hide them.
I favour the veg drawer in the fridge for my special chocolate, as DH never goes there.

RewildingAmbridge · 08/11/2022 18:14

I only buy nice eggs, local from honesty boxes or Burford's, DH probably couldn't tell the difference, but I wouldn't buy two different types of egg! Just but the ones you like in enough quantity for you all. This is share house thinking.

Stangerthings · 08/11/2022 18:15

Leave him! You deserve better.

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 08/11/2022 18:15

Why are you buying nice eggs for you and shit eggs for your DH.

You just said he wouldn't go out and buy them himself so why aren't you buying enough of the Burfords for you both? Confused

It's all a bit petty.
