Is not allowing my husband to cook scrambled eggs in the morning an unreasonable request?

I think we have created a society of narcissistic, entitled complainers who believe that the only thing that matters is how THEY feel and what they want all in the name of personal empowerment.

I wasn't around for JFK, but I do remember learning about his quote of: Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country. Now, on most all levels, it's all me, me, me.

This idiotic OP with her selfish egg issue is a perfect example of that.

Completely agree. My preferences trump everyone else's. Double down when you're wrong. Never apologize. Me, me, me.

You sound crazy. Keep your office door closed.

Pretty certain it's the eggs. I don't really mind the smell of Whole Foods frozen croissants being baked or a grilled cheese or pancakes cooked in a pan using butter.

Yep. OP doubling down and not recognizing her own narcissism.

Or to simply increase the ventilation in her own home? Talk about much to do about nothing.

totally unreasonable.

Have him run the exhaust fan on high and open a window all the way when cooking them.

eggs are one of the healthiest things to eat for breakfast

It’s pretty unhealthy for him, too. However, if he wants to accelerate his prostrate cancer, maybe he’d be willing to use an induction burner on the porch to cook his eggs

[Anonymous]

He's using the kitchen as a kitchen, you're using it as an office. I think you need to find another office.

[Anonymous]

I also loathe the smell of eggs, so I sympathize OP, but I agree you’re being unreasonable.

You're insane. Eggs do not cause prostate cancer.

Do you have a grill with side burner? If not, maybe get him one, and he can cook the egg on the outdoor burner.
