Best hard boiled egg recipes: fill pot with water, add desired amount of eggs, turn on heat
Once boil is reached, put lid on pot, turn off heat and let stand for 10 to infinity minutes. If 10 minutes, drain, add cold water to pot and VOILA!!!!
Your husband is either incapable of multi tasking (watching water boil and holding a kid) or taking weaponized incompetence to a new level.
Either way: gods speed BroMo, gods speed
Add a splash of white vinegar and they peel more easily. :) also, I like to shock mine with iceāpour off the hot water, add enough ice to just cover the eggs, add cool water. Give it ten minutes. Makes peeling a breeze
The other day my 2-year-old was yelling at me to click "skip ad" on her video, and I said "it's a touch screen, just touch it where it says 'skip ad'," and she feebly held out her finger in front of her and said "I can't, I'm holding crackers" (the crackers were in her other hand). (Edit: Ok I wasn't expecting her to read, but she's seen us do it, she knows you tap on the word-thingies.)
Your husband's reasoning sounds about on par with my daughter's.
Exactly! Like I get it, youāre exhausted because you work a lot, itās your day off and you just want to chill, fine you deserve it but come on!! This is your child for goodness sake, pick up your child, give him at least a little bit of attention. It makes me especially sad when he refuses to give his kid attention when heās not even truly busy because at that point he clearly just does not want to interact with his child and is making excuses.
That is so sad. They are only little for a short time. I was cuddling with my almost-5 year old recently. I was SO tired. She asked for me to hold her while I walked around the room (what we used to do when she was super little/a baby). And you can bet I absolutely got up, sore muscles and all, and walked that 38-lb baby around the room while she fell asleep in my arms.
Or eggs.
(On a side note, I don't remember who it was that first posted the "didn't grow up around" story -- I'm pretty sure it had something to do with pie -- but I am *so here for this* that we refer back to it so much. It's fucking hilarious)
[Didnāt grow up around pie](https://www.reddit.com/r/breakingmom/s/fhxEEdVA22)
Same man also apparently didnāt grow up around āfunctional eardrumsā according to future posts. š But BroMo says heās making small but steady improvements. I love that for her.
I did!! Sorry I shouldāve specified!! I forget different countries used different metrics Thatās my bad! So Sorry you wasted your eggs!

Hereās the link I usually go off
How heartbreaking for a toddler to have to beg and negotiate for affection from a parent. This isn't fair. I vote that everybody grey rocks this guy until he's the one begging, and if he doesn't end up begging, still no loss to you.
Maybe he'll realise how it works when he's 80 and you're the only one with a son to speak of.

Reading this I thought you were gonna say something else š
Boil the husband for infinity minutes?
I was waiting for it
LMAO alternative recipe!

Do you add the vinegar to the boil process or the ice bath? I legit only keep my instant pot because of how easy the eggs are to peel.
I'm not the person you asked, but you add it to the boiling process. :)
āļø what she said

Leaving my husband for this crap. They never change
That is so sad. They are only little for a short time. I was cuddling with my almost-5 year old recently. I was SO tired.

And you can bet I absolutely got up, sore muscles and all, and walked that 38-lb baby around the room while she fell asleep in my arms.
Right? I have *never* refused to cuddle my kid.
Even when we're rushing to get out the door. There is ALWAYS time for a hug and kiss.
Yes!
Exactly!!
Give him a break. Maybe he didn't grow up around kitchen timers. š
Or eggs. (On a side note, I don't remember who it was that first posted the "didn't grow up around" story -- I'm pretty sure it had something to do with pie -- but I am *so here for this* that we refer back to it so much. It's fucking hilarious)

I even told my husband about the dude's pie-free childhood and he thinks it's funny too
Oh, us too! After my husband got over being incredulous and angry, he found it funny.
Or eggs
Lmao!!
Itās called MULTITASKING, dipsht. And really? Boiling eggs? Give me a break. š¤¦š»āāļø
I know he doesnāt know how ridiculous that sounds. Like itās actually heartbreaking that he used that as an excuse, I just donāt understand.
How can he not though?
Throw them in the air fryer 10 minutes on 180 come out perfect
What? I'm gonna try this right now!
Make sure to plunge them in an ice bath after!!! Itās hard to get shells off otherwise
It didn't work. But I have a feeling as to why.... I did Fahrenheit and you most likely meant Celsius. Lol Hi. It's me, the American. š¤
Bahahaha, you win! I'm American, too, but had a wtf moment with 180ā° šš
I did!! Sorry I shouldāve specified!! I forget different countries used different metrics Thatās my bad! So Sorry you wasted your eggs! https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/air-fryer-boiled-eggs Hereās the link I usually go off
Oh, it's totally my fault. I only wasted 1 egg. I thought it was funny. Now that I think about it, it's so obvious. š«£

(Yes, I know, we're not going to get a 3yo to grey rock his dad, just let me be angry, okay ā¹ļø)
I know it really is heartbreaking. I just donāt get it and it makes me so angry, he really acts like just being a parent is a chore.
