To think he shouldn't have eaten my eggs?

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?

You get what you get and your don't get upset. He can eat the eggs that were cooked for him, and next time cook them himself. You get the other two eggs. He's a CF.

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.

I know where you are coming from but don't worry - he hasn't knocked my confidence

I admit I have gone from the biggest slob in the world to someone who by most peoples standards would be classed as neat and tidy. My mum expresses the same every time I go to visit and I moan about the clutter everywhere!

But I will never ever reach his standards and I'm ok with that. I'm happy cooking and bringing in the money to live our life style. More than happy for him to be a house husband.

Why on earth did you let him eat your eggs?! I've told my DH to go fuck himself if he tried this on me.
And if I'd tried it on him I'd expect to get short shrift..
What a man child. You don't ask someone to cook for you.. then decide its not good enough and eat their food for tomorrow instead.
Is he like this in other ways too? Completely selfish?
Get rid op. Life's too short to be living with someone like that.

Because he thought I'd do them better than he could but they didn't turn out well.

That's why he asked you, why did you do it? And why didn't you tell him he couldn't eat your eggs? And failing that, why didn't you tell him to go out, buy more eggs and cook ones to replace yours?

Cantbelieveit888 · 07/06/2024 13:54

Oh Jesus. If you aren’t tight for cash, ask him to go out and buy some more eggs so you can have some in the morning!

Also it seems he makes bloody good ones too, so ask him too cook them in the morning as well.

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

Rocket surgery 😂

were you making soufflé or something? who can't make eggs.

You shouldn't have made his and you should have told him the others were for you. Are you very young? very passive? is this typical for the pair of you?

TotalDramarama24 · 07/06/2024 14:23

If he fancied eggs for dinner to the point that he would shamelessly ask someone else to make them so they are just right and not spoilt, then I genuinely wouldn't begrudge him "cracking on" and having the last two eggs. Who plans what they are having for breakfast the next day anyway? But if eggs are crucial they could easily be replaced before the morning.

It's hardly brain science.

Ifyoucouldreadmymindlove · 07/06/2024 15:50

Why the fuck did the demanding, lazy cunt not make his own fucking eggs? You didn’t want to but did. What was the reason for that?

Ugh. I hate men like this.

Rubbishconfession · 07/06/2024 15:51

You should hidden your eggs.

Did you send him out for more eggs in the morning?

GingerPirate · 07/06/2024 15:58

Brilliant, now I feel fed up for the OP.
Fuck your DH and his eggs.
Goodbye.

Carrot678 · 07/06/2024 16:00

What a non-event. Get him to buy more eggs tomorrow.

Must agree.

If it had been the eggs off your plate I'd have said... well it doesn't matter what I'd have said but he'd have put them back sharpish.

However as you seemingly weren't having eggs for dinner or even that day I'd say the eggs in the carton were first come first serve and if he didn't fancy the botched eggs then surely the natural thing to do was make some fresh eggs with the remaining and then put them on the shopping list for whoever is next popping to a shop.
There are other options for breakfast, you can't call bagsy on the remaining eggs.

Steakandwine · 07/06/2024 17:02

You have to be yolking me.. Sorry

Tell him to make his own bloody dinner if he's fussy about them

longtompot · 07/06/2024 17:18

Makes me think of a scene in a New Zealand film called Once Were Warriors where the woman's partner yells at her to make him some eggs, woman.

My dh is grateful when I cook for him, even when it doesn't go as planned.

PickAChew · 07/06/2024 17:19

Even my DH will cook his own eggs. He's not in the habit of wasting food, either.

UnbelievableLie · 07/06/2024 17:20

...but did his eggs turn out better?

So it is ok to just take all the eggs, knowing full well the other person wants some?

allthemiddlechildrenoftheworld · 07/06/2024 17:22

@mummytojoseph mug mug mug!!!! let him make his own eggs!!

Bumblebeeinatree · 07/06/2024 17:24

What happened to the not perfect eggs, did anyone eat them? If not why not? Or are they in the fridge? Waiting for bread and butter.

Insette · 07/06/2024 17:30

I have so many questions.

Why did he need you to make his dinner?
What happened the eggs weren’t to his satisfaction?
Did you tell him the last 2 eggs were for your breakfast, don’t be a fussy, greedy immature fucker and either eat the eggs you made or starve?
Why is he not wearing the eggs he wasn’t happy with?

Lastly, why do women put up with this shit? Raise your bar OP.

If someone isn't competent in a task they are not going to magically obtain the skill without practice. Stop enabling the lazy sod.
