I’m a sahm with 2 kids (8, 10) their dad is the sole income earner in the house. He’s responsible for bills and groceries and recently, he’s been tightening the grip on expenses and would get mad over little things I do. Like doing laundry twice a week (because kids) or using more cleaning products than I usually do.
Yesterday, I was making breakfast for him and the kids and used 4 eggs to make scrambled eggs. He came to the table and found out that I had used 4 and started lashing out at me calling me irresponsible for not using 2 eggs instead. I called him unreasonable because 2 eggs? when it was the 4 of us? the kids wouldn’t get enough. He yelled saying that I should keep in mind that he’s the one who’s expected to pay for all of that and will have to worry if we run out of groceries. I got upset and lost my appetite. I told him he could have the whole thing but he called me childish and immature for “sulking” when he was just being honest and straightforward with me.
I ended up having just coffee for breakfast and he left for work without speaking to me.
Am I Wrong for using 4 eggs instead of 2 so the whole family could eat?
