To think he shouldn't have eaten my eggs?

[mummytojoseph]

Dh wanted some eggs for dinner and called me out to make them for him, I didn't particularly want to but did.
I got two out for him and the last two were for me which I was going to have tomorrow for breakfast.

I made his eggs and they didn't turn out quite as he wanted so he moaned and thought this entitled him to my eggs.

AIBU to think he should have cooked his own eggs and I shouldn't miss out because he got me to do it and didn't like the result.

Or is he right and as I didn't do his eggs as he liked them I owe him mine?

Make him cook his own damn eggs. If I make DH eggs and they don’t come out right, do you know what he does? He eats them because it’s food and he’s grateful I cooked them for him.

Actually I've had a re-think - I reckoned it's the oft-mentioned 'weaponised incompetence' (usually attributed to men!) on the part of the OP. She deliberately made unsatisfactory eggs so that she wouldn't be asked again 😊

But this thread was started at 6pm approx yesterday, did you not send him to the shops for more?

How far away is the shop?

Excellent 😁

See I would have cooked the eggs as well for him. Not because I'm some 50s house wife etc but because I'm a bloody good cook. Its the only household task I'm any good at.

DH cleans, tidies, sorts the bins, hoovers, irons, does the laundry - I cook.

He is retired and I work full-time although from home but even so......... The cooking is on me.

That doesn't answer @IggityZiggity's question.

If DH wants eggs for dinner, he can just make them himself. Practice makes perfect and all that.

As for 'AIBU to think he should have cooked his own eggs'. YANBU, but the ship has sailed on that one, you should have told him that last night. No-one on MN would say you should have cooked his eggs for him, unless perhaps he has no working arms and you are his carer.

But you shouldn't miss out either. I'm usually the last person to say 'just buy more' but seriously, unless you're on a very very tight budget, you just don't run out of eggs. Just buy enough so you always have them in.

Is his name Joseph?

Can I just ask? What is the point of doing this?

Instead of writing a little comment expressing what you want to say, you toddle off to ChatGPT and ask for a load of waffly crap that doesn't add anything to the conversation and, to paraphrase ChatGPT itself, it's cheating at discussion.

Well perhaps if that's the deal, it's not so bad.

Its the only household task I'm any good at.

I refuse to believe that's true of anyone, but your husband seems to have fallen for it

Vacuuming a floor = Moving machine across it.

Mopping a floor = Moving a wet mop backwards and forwards until the dirt magically disappears.

Washing up = Moving a sponge backwards and forwards until bits of food disappear.

Unless you're going to add that you're not able bodied, of course you're 'good' at it.

What was the point of your comment again?

I think the point was to ask you why you're using ChatGPT?

Disclaimer: I have no idea if you are or not.

🙄

👀

Yes, what is the point of using ChatGPT? I don't get it. And yes they are. No-one writes like that.

ChatGPT definitely doesn't write like that!

I liked the comment - and thought it sounded very human.

Since when do you have to be a bloody good cook to make eggs? It's hardly rocket surgery.

Are we talking runny eggs that went hard? In which case, I can understand why he didn't want to eat the hard yolks but he absolutely should have replaced them ready for you today.

It's hardly rocket surgery.
🤔

@mummytojoseph

Let's see - what's that MN phrase again? Ah yes - "Give your head a wobble!"

Let him cook his own eggs (and make some for you too) in future. Tell him the more he practices the better he'll get. Apply that to anything else he makes you do. 🌹

Loving 'Rocket surgery'!! 🤣🤣

Ok - I should have said, I never do it to his OCD standard - he was vacuuming around me whilst I was toasting rolls for bacon this morning.

SO I'm not good at it to the level he likes.

I'm reading between the lines as I think you've kept this deliberately factual @mummytojoseph. Be honest, this isn't about eggs, is it. Tell us what is going on as people on here will be able to help.

Don't let anyone knock down your confidence to the point where you feel you're no good at something, just because it doesn't reach their stupidly high standards.

We all have different standards for everything, they don't make us any 'better' or 'worse' than others.

Thank you for defending my humanity 😅
