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?

Do his vocal cords not work? He could have discussed the use of the eggs or used a portion of them. Instead he selfishly took them all.

Personally, I would have taken a slice of cake for my self. At least that way I would have gotten to eat some of the eggs.

It's not normal to have to price check eggs in the fridge before you use them.

Eat the fucking cake OP. Then when he gets angry- tell him he's setting an awful example to your two year old by treating a pregnant woman so badly.

I'd have definitely eaten at least some of the damn cake.

I mean if he wants to put the eggs in a cake for work fine, but had he not heard of sharing? He's the bad example. The eggs weren't just his. He should have left some for you and your DC. And who puts 8 eggs in a cake? How big was this cake??

It was a huge cake for a cake sale and they were small eggs!

It's 50 50 reasonable/ unreasonable at the moment 😂

To muddy the waters even more, the cake making items were left strewn about the kitchen for 2 days...but it was a charity bake sale. 🤔

Thanks to those who sent the nice comments re mum ❣️

especially after a week!

I thought that having roommates could be hard work, for obvious reasons. I did not realise some people are that uptight in their own house with their own family! Sounds exhausting.

I wonder how much food waste is produced with all the weird attitude 😂

On this one id be 50/50

I would do without eggs in any shape of form before buying low welfare eggs. I will at an extreme pinch, (maybe for childs birthday cake) buy organic free range from the supermarket but I do so knowing that they are only the best of the worst. I know that I'm lucky to be able to do this and appreciate that some don't have that choice

@MissTiss sorry but what kind of cake needs 8 eggs in it????? we buy our eggs from the farm because they are cheaper than shop bought eggs!

if it's any consolidation fresh farm eggs aren't recommended when pregnant. you should check eggs have the red lion stamp which fresh local farm eggs generally dont

YANBU. He must have known you'd like to have those eggs, not put them in a cake.

💐 for your mum and your eggs. It must be so hard for you right now

Well personally I can’t see a pale yolk without thinking about the poor unhappy hen that laid it. To my mind it isn’t using the
‘fancy’ eggs in a cake that is unreasonable, it’s buying ‘non-fancy’ eggs for anything at all.
Buy fancy farm eggs all the time and your problem is solved😺

I'm so sorry about your Mum. What with that and pregnancy hormones, I'm not surprised it felt like the last straw.

He probably should have checked with you first, but were you not pregnant and recently bereaved you'd probably have shrugged it off with little thought.

I hope he brings you some cake home to make up for it!

If there is a special food in the fridge that we don't usually have, we will ALWAYS check with each other before eating/using it.

I don't think YABU because not only did he use them, he used ALL of them.

Common courtesy is not finishing something without checking with other members of the house.

If they're the only eggs you had and he needed to use them I wouldn't have thought twice about using them tbh. He didn't know you wanted to eat them that morning. He could offer to go get more fancy eggs though. I'd be more raging about leaving the mess for 2 days and not getting any cake more tbh 😂

What does that red lion stamp mean?

I expect he would think an egg is an egg as my DH would unless they were labelled. I've never made anything with 8 eggs in it. It's a pity you never got to taste it though.

He did you a favour as you shouldn’t eat farm non lion stamped eggs if you’re pregnant

Or have fried or scrambled eggs on toast for dinner. Or hard boil them to take to work for lunch. Or put them in an omelette if you wfh. Or put them in pancakes. We have eggs on toast for breakfast in the week though and I leave the house at half 7, they don't take long.

I'm with you @MissTiss !! If I was baking a cake for a charity bakesale, I'd absolutely be buying cheaper eggs from the shop and not the nice eggs I got from the farmshop. So yeah, I'd have been annoyed too! You have every right to be annoyed, given that you're pregnant, hormonal, and are suffering with a bereavement of your mum. Your husband was being insensitive and a dick for saying you were a bad example. Shame on him. He should give you the bloody cake to enjoy then go tidy the kitchen he made a mess of.

As long as they are cooked through, they are safe.

It means that they are safe to eat raw or runny.

Completely disagree. Organic farm eggs are for eating boiled, with toast. Supermarket eggs are for cake

I am not saying you cannot find time or will to eat eggs during week.
Just that some people like them for weekend breakfast/brunch. Same way I would not eat bacon on weekdays. It is weekend staple in our house.
Just by the smell of fried food everyone in the house know mum is not working today lol
