Tensions can et high once a new little human is introduced into the household.

How would you handle your partner dropping the ball while you’re both handling becoming new parents? One woman recently sought wisdom from Reddit about this. Here are the details.

WIBTA if I tell my husband to stop cooking me breakfast?

I am a stay at home mom to a 1 year old child.

I often end up having protein coffee and a protein bar for breakfast because I need something fast before my Velcro baby becomes little miss clingy.

Sounds like breakfast is a chore in this house.

Occasionally when my husband has a remote day he will make us breakfast.

But multiple times when he’s made me eggs, the eggs aren’t fully cooked.

I don’t have an issue with a sunny side up egg with a running yolk, but I’m talking omelet or scrambled eggs not fully cooked.

That’s not the best way to start your day.

I can’t stomach it.

I told him last time he made breakfast because I don’t like wasting food, but I can’t manage to eat it.

He did it again this morning and I’m staring down at a runny omelet.

WIBTA to tell my husband that though I appreciate him trying to make sure I get food in my stomach, if he doesn’t cook my eggs properly, I’d just rather he not at all?

The communication barrier seems unnecessarily high here. Let’s see what Reddit had to say about this.

The comments were not particularly sympathetic.

Some people were baffled by the whole thing.

And suggested a simple fix.

One person noted the use of language.

Another called out that the original poster wasn’t being entirely honest.

This guy can’t take the heat, but he should still get out of the kitchen.
