When Julia’s husband, Jordan, refuses to buy eggs for their kids, she’s furious, but she lets it slide. Until she discovers he’s been secretly stocking his mother’s fridge instead. Now, Julia is determined to teach him a lesson in priorities, but what starts as petty revenge turns into a conversation that could change their marriage forever.
MY HUSBAND REFUSED TO BUY EGGS FOR OUR KIDS — THEN I CAUGHT HIM GIFTING THEM TO HIS MOM.
Never thought I’d be ranting about eggs, but here we are.
Egg prices are insane, but for us, they’re a necessary food source. We have two toddlers who actually need them.
So last Monday, I asked my husband, Jordan, to grab some eggs on his way home. His response?
“Julia, have you seen the prices? The kids don’t need them that bad. We should cut back on groceries.”
I was livid, but fine. I picked up eggs myself.
Then, on Saturday, we visited his mom, Carolyn. I packed food for the kids — because she’s not exactly the cooking grandma type.
When I opened her fridge to store their meals, my jaw hit the floor.
It was FULLY stocked with eggs. Dozens of them!!!
“Wow, Carolyn!” I said, still processing. “Where’d you find so many?”
She beamed. “Oh, Jordan bought them for me! Such a sweetheart, he made sure I had plenty!”
…Excuse me?!
The same man who said eggs were “TOO EXPENSIVE” for his own children?!
I didn’t explode. I smiled. I even praised him.
But the entire ride home? I plotted.
And by Monday morning? Operation “Priorities” was in full effect.
