Page 10 | To think it was obvious they were for the kids??

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.

Sorry, I don't have any views on whether the Knave of Hearts stole your tarts - I'd just ask - but this:

"jam slags - like jam tarts but bigger with jam balls on top"

and then:

"jam balls are pastry balls with jam on top"

is hands down the best thing I have ever read on Mumsnet. I am crying with laughter.

And btw I'm sure you can work this out OP. He couldn't resist your baking is all. Unless you really do hate each other.

Calliopespa · 01/06/2024 20:54

Could be worse. Plenty of threads where DH has had a couple of tarts and op isn’t talking party food.

Can you cut the sausage rolls in half and have a plate of minis to share?

Please ask your Mum how to turn a jam slag into a jam slut.

Jam whores. They cost more.

I’d love to know who has voted YABU Op?!

And why?

And no he’s refusing to bring them back saying he’s busy and can’t be carting sausage rolls backwards and forwards. He’s 100% done it on purpose.

He wouldn't be "carting sausage rolls backwards and forwards." He would just be doing the one trip to bring them back for his kid's birthday. How did it go?

I assume ‘jam slag’ is a typo? 🤣 But I’m curious (and hungry) now. And yes, H deffo knew it was for the party.

I want to try this delicious hilariously named treat.

PeachFuzz25 · 01/06/2024 20:26

How did the party go? What did you serve?

Your DH is being very unreasonable.

I'd be furious.

TeaGinandFags · 01/06/2024 20:03

Or phone his boss asking for the return of stolen goodies.

It may not get you the goodies but he will be humiliated.

catherinereynolds · 01/06/2024 19:57

Came for the drama, stayed for the jam slag.

TeaGinandFags · 01/06/2024 19:56

Might I suggest ironic punishment?

Make a load of yummy goodies that dick of a husband won't be able to resist.

BUT

Fill them with scotch bonnet chillis or laxatives or whatever vile unwholesome concoction you can think of. He'll think twice then. You could also try hiding the goodies, but your husband is doing this deliberately and will hunt them down.

Mum reckons he's jealous but that only demonstrates what a tool he is.

Recipe for this Jam Slag please🙏

Oooh can you imagine what a jam slut would be like??? Slut is generally considered as the gold standard of the loose wimmin world, so jam sluts would defo be off the scale tempting 😋😂

Tarts and slags, both similarly themed slang? They sound effin delicious either way, reckon I'd've ate them too 😂

WTF!!
some people bake because they enjoy it!
I don’t actually just do it for him specifically, if I do make anything it’s there for him to take to work!!

You said ‘I always bake for my husband’s lunch’, don’t get offended when that reads as literally as it does. You’re now backtracking by saying ‘I don’t do it specifically for him’.

Who makes 8 of these things? Are we into rationing? What the hell? This is bordering on Scrooge. It is not like it is caviar or oysters or whatever it is rich people eat. And I am not talking about the husband - what if kiddies wanted seconds? If you invite kids for a play date, the table has to be positively groaning with this stuff.

Wow, sounds like the op made a good effort, hardly rationing

BrendaSmall · 01/06/2024 19:35

LostTheMarble · 01/06/2024 16:51

Why? Does he not have the capability to make his own lunch? Or does he do all the other cooking in return for your family?

MangosteenSoda · 01/06/2024 19:34

DH sucks. However, I’m delighted at the thought of you offering out jam slags whenever you have guests.

Anyone for a slag? Last slag up for grabs!

8 full size sausage rolls for 2 kids!! Plus the rest. Not enough?

He is a twat and you are not being unreasonable

Typical dick move by a man.

I’m intrigued by the Jam Slags.

Me too.

Vettrianofan · 01/06/2024 19:10

What's a jam slag? Never seen these in Tesco before 🤔

Too late now but if he were to ever do something like this again, I’d ring one of his colleagues (friendly child loving boss/gossipy receptionist preferably) and say that Dh had deliberately taken all the party food into the office, could they do you a favour and grab the food and stick it in a taxi to send it back seeing as dh had refused to and you have a load of kids turning up shortly that need feeding. And to make dh pay.

Emphasise how shocked and unset you were that he could do something like that to you and dc, doubly so knowing that it was dc’s birthday and that you had specifically discussed it/the party baking yesterday so he has no excuse for thinking that it was for him to take to work.

Play him at his own game so he looks an idiot for taking your baking in rather than looking good. Especially if you point out that you don’t think he would make that sort of mistake if it was work related rather than child/ family related!
