To think it was obvious they were for the kids??

Birump · 2024-06-01T08:13:50+00:00

DS is having a little play date today, low key birthday “party” but DS doesn’t really do parties so it’s more of a gloried play date. Yesterday I did some baking … 8 sausage rolls, 8 scotch eggs, 8 jam slags and 8 chocolate brownies. Came down this morning and most of it is gone, I text DH asking if he’d touched the baking and he said yes, he’d taken it for work. im fuming, isn’t it fucking obvious that they were for the kids for today?? He’s insisting that it was not obvious. This is not the first time he’s done something like this.

I can't argue with you there!

Also, no one's perfect - DH has great strengths proven over decades together, but he is a food swiper- it is just a fact. We still love him very much.

@Allshallbewell2021

i don’t know why you talk about it like it’s some quaint little personality trait of your husbands that he cannot control! He can control it and change it - he just needs to stop being selfish and greedy around food, easy!

Apologies - I didn't mean to appear to be laughing at OP, clumsy posting from me.

Every family of unique and my dc and I have to be very vigilant or create clear signage about designated special food. It's just a thing. I'm not defending it - it just wouldn't surprise me if it happened on this house. Haven't done special baking for dc for so long!

That does not sound hilarious. He sounds selfish, greedy, and entitled

What would happen if he came over to "peer" at your food and you told him to fuck off and keep his thieving hands to himself?

Just laugh out loud to lighten your mood, lift your humour.

Text DH and say: ' so glad you are enjoying the home baking Darlint, you deserve this because I love you heaps and you are a hardworking provider.' Or some such sweet love message, this will restore your humour, increase your attachment, then buy from local bakery. Nobody will.mind they are their to see you and your DS and enjoy your company.

HAHAHA hilarious, I love it when men piss away my time, energy and labour. Not thinking about their child's birthday is so ATTRACTIVE and CUTE.

I totally kick off about it! But you have to hide stuff from him for sure.

Dd has school lunches at the moment - but in the past the packed lunch treats were always being plundered by DH who couldn't give a c*. All the food in the house is his birthright! Excess Easter eggs included. Any treats we have he comes and peers at in case he can claim it as his.

Hilarious and we are used to it,

Good grief! You know this is far from normal?

DollyDaffodils1989 · 13/06/2024 14:45

YANBU, he should have known the food was for the kids!!! Leave that man immediately!!!!!

Allshallbewell2021 · 13/06/2024 13:16

I've often found really out of date treats I've hidden from DH who can sniff them out so well that they get hidden even from myself.

Of course it doesn’t let him off but that’s how they are. They don’t think about others just themselves. Clear enough? Men are idiots. Clearer???

Fair enough, but if they are too stupid then it is not fair to be anoyed.

Read the post!! Why should she have to go to Greggs to replace delicious homemade things?? FFS - are you taking his side?

Home-made generally wasted on DCs. Buy in and let them get on with it. It's adults who appreciate home baking etc - though my DCs did like homemade bread, mainly, I think, because I made plaited loaves.
NB Scotch eggs are supposed to be deep-fried - not exactly healthy. (I do them with low-fat mince and bake them, but that's an entirely different ball game.)

😂😂😂Nice one.

Just one question, if this post is for real. Why have you changed all the baking, as stated in the OP, to some of the baking. It’s an important feature of the scenario. If it was just some of the baking, many of the responses may have been different. Why have you changed all to some?

Show quote history

Correction, it was most rather than all. But my point stands. Most and some are quite different, so why change it?
