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?

Do adults put dibs on food? Just get more eggs.

Why are people in relationships like this in 2024?

I also need to know what happened to the inadequate eggs.

I find it difficult to see eggs as something that have to be divided fairly as if they were a special treat.

If my husband ate eg the last two slices of cake or the last two magnums I would be annoyed because I'd expect to have my share.

Eggs are just something we have in the house. They are not counted out and divided into his and mine.

If he finished them all off one evening and I had fancied them for breakfast I would just have cereal or toast instead. It would be a mild annoyance at most.

It looks like there are bigger problems in this relationship though.

Except plenty of people do. Perhaps not you, or anyone you know, but that's not a representative sample.

And ChatGPT definitely doesn't use the words "sodding" and "gittery".

I know plenty of people who talk and write in a similar way. I use similar language day to day too. Many people are eloquent, even if you aren't aware of it.

Reverse snobbery in action?

I don’t think we are ever going to find out, it’s a shame we can’t all egg on OP to come and tell us. Unless this is a yolk thread?

coincidentally I have just had a heated discussion with my DP asking me to make him eggs for breakfast before he went to work for a night shift.

I said I would make something else whilst he got ready but I didn’t want to be stuck with the smell of lingering eggs because I’m not feeling very well. If I was genuinely ill he wouldn’t have asked but it was self inflicted, I was out last night.

He has gone to work a right little cross patch but I can’t get angry with him asking as I don’t work and he’s not allowed in the kitchen unsupervised 😂.

I imagine if I had made his eggs he would have eaten them no matter how they turned out and said thank you.
If I had messed them up like making poached eggs with a hard yolk or rubbery scrambled eggs and we had two left I’d have cooked the other two eggs and gone out and bought more.
If I didn’t have a chance to buy more then we have other options for breakfast.

Despite this being a complete non - event I am quite invested now and hope OP comes back and answers our questions.

ChatGPT would probably also not come up with a sentence like "Accepting that life is disappointment and eating the eggs anyway is a valuable exercise in forbearance and fortitude (and cooking your own sodding eggs if it's that important to you)", because it doesn't actually make any sense to say that "accepting that life is disappointment is a valuable exercise in cooking your own eggs" — that's human levels of sentence-mangling there

I don't get why the PP thinks it's okay to shit all over someone's writing style, completely unprovoked, just because they think it looks clever to accuse another poster of being a robot. It's pointless, rude, potentially hurtful derailing.

At least you've had the last laugh OP - after four eggs he will probably be bunged up for a couple of days.

When I first opened the thread I assumed it was about mini eggs. I would be so pissed off if DH ate my mini eggs. Normal eggs not so much.

Fuck me
