To be so angry about eggs

[MissTiss]

So disclaimer: I'm pretty sure this is unreasonable and I'm 5 weeks pregnant.

Got some fancy farm fresh eggs last weekend and was looking forward to a few for breakfast this morning. Come down to realise DH has put all 8 of the lovely eggs we bought for silly price from farmer into a cake for his work. When shop with normal eggs is literally 2 minutes away.

Gave out to him (raised voice, half amused, not shouting) at which point he told me I was being a bad example to 2 year old who thought the whole.thing was hilarious.

Also my mum died 2 months ago.

AIBU? Who puts nice eggs like that into a work cake?

Also AIBU to think he would just give me a break given all I'm going through?

I'm really sorry you lost your mum, OP.

Eggs come in varying quality levels.

Totally agree with this!

Eggs is eggs.

Oh sweetheart, I’m so sorry you lost your mum….. sending you un MN hugs and love at this very delicate time…. Xx

I'm with you op. I'd be pissed off that he had wasted good eggs making a cake I wasn't even going to enjoy.

I'd be annoyed if I bought something nice for us to eat and my DH brought it to work. 🤷‍♀️

It must have been a big cake for 8 eggs. He should have left some other things

The scale is a bit like this @summersofdoom
Cheapest eggs. These are not tasty (might taste of fish) but would be ok in a cake for someone else.
Bog std free range from supermarket.
Fancy eggs in supermarket. Called things like Finest
Farm eggs - much tastier because chickens eat what they like.

Lidl/Aldi/Tesco/Waity eggs same price, no noticeable difference

yes, but people must have a hell of a meal plan organisations if they plan their eggs purchase with such precision.

I can somehow get the "fancy fresh farm eggs" for breakfast the following day, but keeping them in the fridge for a week? what's the point.

This is why I am so glad to be single and living by my self. If I buy ingredients for specific use, that's how they will get used. I never open my fridge to make a meal to find a crucial ingredient missing because someone in my house selfishly decided to use it all for their own purposes without discussing anything.

I used to have boyfriends staying over and some of them would do shit like that. Or hey would dirty the floor I had cleaned spotless for their arrival because I like to make my house guests feel at home. Or had one boyfriend set his massive toiletry bag on the shelf under the bathroom mirror, making it impossible to get to my own toothbrush without removing his stupid oversized bag. Or filling my fridge filled with cola light (which I don't drink), leaving no room for anything else I normally have in the fridge.

It's things like these that are a real turn off.

Yes I think some people do buy two types of things, it is not complicated - I have delicious butter for toast and ordinary butter for cake.

There is absolutely nothing like fresh farm fancy eggs scrambled with a little crème fraiche on buttered toast. Supermarket eggs are simply not comparable!

YANBU at all. I never use fancy eggs in something like cake (also dying to know what the cake was!)

Think of it this way: you have a bar of special high quality chocolate bought from a chocolatier in the fridge. DP is making rice crispy cakes and melts the fancy chocolate to make them rather than walking to the corner shop for a cheap bar.... same difference....

Exactly- he used them up without asking, and didn’t replace them.

I only ever buy fresh farm eggs the supermarket ones just don't compare in taste.

I'm so very sorry about your mum, OP.

Obviously the good eggs shouldn't have gone in the work cake.

YANBU; your thread title made me smile.

It isn't the eggs.

It's the thoughtless disregard for the other person living in house.

Using up fancy eggs for a cake for work, where it will be scoffed without a seconds thought by strangers, so that OP doesn't get any benefit, doesn't get her lovely breakfast treat... Thats shitty thoughtless behaviour. 'Fuck you and what you want, I can't be bothered to think about you.'

See also 'using the fancy expensive chocolate to make crispy cakes for the kids bake sale' and 'eating someone elses posh crisps that he doesn't even LIKE rather than go to the shop for something he does like'..

Turdy behaviour. I'd be pissed off too.

You knew they were good eggs and you were looking forward to enjoying their special-ness, so YANBU.

He probably didn’t even remember or notice that they were the special eggs.

I have Good Butter and cooking butter. I would be gutted if I was looking forward to a slice of fresh, pricey artisan sourdough and found that all the good butter had been used for school bake sale buns.

In future stake your claim! Tell him, and Put a post it note on them.

YABU, but he should be making allowances for you ATM. It was very mean of him to react like he did.

I actually don't think YABU. Who would waste expensive farm fresh eggs on a work cake?! That means you won't even get a taste! I hope he replaces the eggs, OP.

YANBU - if you don't usually buy fancy eggs, there is no way they should have been used in a cake. I would be really annoyed too and want them replaced...

On a side note, so sorry to hear everything you are going through at the moment.

Sorry, did he put 8 eggs into a cake?!

I'd be raging! My H pulls shit like that, eating things without checking that were meant for someone else. Drives me mad. At the very least, your DH should replace them, and bake you a nice cake to say sorry.

It's shit losing your mum xx

'marital fridge'
😂😂

Did you communicate to your husband that he shouldn't use the eggs/ that they were special eggs?

If you didn't then YABU.

For me, buying eggs from a farmers market would be more about animal welfare than anything else. I don't particularly notice/ care about any difference in taste.

I think it's understandable that he'd use whatever eggs were lying around unless you'd said otherwise.
