egg day shows how infuriating sharing an island is

My SO got on to play before me this morning because I chose to look after my health and exercise instead. They got to donate the new insects from the March switchover. They got eggs from rocks and from the buried fossil marks (which as you know only one player can do per day). They got DIY recipes from balloons. Now we find that the prize from Zipper is reliant on crafting all the Bunny Day recipes, but my SO and I have never had duplicates from balloons. I find it highly unlikely that either of us will be able to get them all.

I reckon EVERY event is going to be like this, a 50-50 such that neither of us actually gets to completely enjoy events or fulfil event challenges, leaving us both unsatisfied and angry at each other.

Knowing that I will never be able to be a 'completionist' in ACNH, and the strife and complication sharing an island brings is so frustrating I want to stop playing (e.g. we have to drop specific things near money trees when they are growing so that we will know whose money tree is whose. Which means we've always got stuff lying around, which bugs me!).

Nintendo completely dropped the ball not letting different switch accounts have their own islands. Sharing is simply not fun or fair at all. :(
 
From everything I’ve heard it’s been “unfair” from the very beginning, because only one player gets to be the Island Representative (which comes with more options than a regular resident, as far as I know)

I’m not saying that makes your complaint less valid though. Just that it isn’t a huge surprise considering the other decisions Nintendo has made around multiplayer / shared Islands.

I am the first player / island representative, but I'm also the one who wanted the game, so we kind of worked through that, and I included him in big decisions, so he didn't mind so much being a lame villager.

It was unfair, but not so unfair as this, where now neither of us actually gets to participate in events.
