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.

If I had baked for a kids party I would probably say that that's for tomorrow.

Equally here we tend to ask about food.

Anything that might have been bought to be used in a meal or anything "out of the ordinary" that might be for a particular purpose.

Have a feeling that Op's husband would "forget" thought even if told.

I'm sorry OP, men really do just lack brain cells it seems. Tell him not to come home for dinner, he's took enough food to cover his evening meal.

Also, I'm gonna need the recipe for these promiscuous pastries 👀

Ah, exploding boob buns! Yeah, I've made something similar. It was all a bit CSI.

I absolutely did Google jam slags but didn't find anything like that. (Or, indeed, anything like that. 😂)

Well, if jam slags already exist I will just have to invent jam harlots...

I'm guessing it's slags as in slag heap rather than promiscuous woman but yours sound fun 😂

QueensOfTheVolksAge · 01/06/2024 15:14

Genuinely would re-evaluate my marriage over this. Selfish, pathetic man. Why the fuck couldn't he nip to the shop for his snacks? He DEFINITELY took them knowing they were for the party, I don't understand this behaviour. The bar for husbands and fathers is so low... Start putting yourselves first, fuck him, he's not in it for the family is he, all about himself.

He needs to bring it all back, and apologise, at the barest of bare minimum.

Shufflebumnessie · 01/06/2024 15:09

Of course it was obvious and he damn well knew that.
I'm afraid your H is a selfish, lying prick who has deliberately chosen to ruin your hard work & your child's party.
If this is not his first offence of this nature, I'd seriously be re-evaluating our relationship as apparently he can only think of himself.

Jmaho · 01/06/2024 15:08

This might sound extreme but I'd actually consider ending a relationship over this
He clearly knew they weren't for the taking and instead for his 8 year son and friend. Just spiteful and nasty

Ohnobackagain · 01/06/2024 15:07

@Birump can you go retrieve the baking? What a selfish *rse. Or send an Uber round for it. Anything to make sure he, knowing it was for today, gets none 😡 (I know this might be costly but it’s the principle and he needs to get the message) 🤣

My mum had two ancient old aunts when she was growing up. Sisters called Aunt Mould and Aunt Slag. No one ever batted an eyelid at their names until about 10 years ago when they were mentioned in front of my DH and he thought he must have misheard! 😄

Sorry, totally missing the point of the thread. YANBU and the jam slags are making me chuckle. Hope your DS has a lovely time with his friends!

Did you live in Gormenghast? This is wildly wonderful and mad at the same time.

WhenTheMoonShines · 01/06/2024 15:03

He’s vile, idk how you could stay with a man like that.

CrispieCake · 01/06/2024 15:01

I agree with leaving him out of family meals for the foreseeable future. Families represent collective, mutually supportive group living structures and his anti-family behaviour marks him as unsuitable for inclusion within the collective.

TonTonMacoute · 01/06/2024 14:02

True, sadly. They are mostly completely oblivious to this sort of thing.

No they’re not. Stop it, women like you let men get away with their deliberate incompetence just because you believe their penis power makes them dunderheads with any household chore or event. They know exactly what they’re doing, they simply dont care.

IVbumble · 01/06/2024 14:58

I think he's a Jam Slag .... with his little jammy balls.

JamSlags · 01/06/2024 14:56

What a selfish dick. Poor DS.

Did he just take some for himself, or take most of it to give to his workmates? Either way, I hope you had enough to make the party a success.

tuvamoodyson · 01/06/2024 14:53

Withswitch · 01/06/2024 09:23

I'm sure he can come back from work and bake some replacements

Where does it say ‘he took a couple of sausage rolls?’ I can’t see that in the OP??

Birump · 01/06/2024 14:51

Pieceofpurplesky · 01/06/2024 13:36

My mum used to make something similar but called it a big jam tart! The jam ball was a ball of pastry with jam in that sat on top.

Your H is a dick.

Yes that’s it! ☺️

Cut holes in the front of all his boxers. When he asks why just say "it wasn't obvious that you needed them. I thought I could take them"

Chaiilatte · 01/06/2024 14:46

But no YANBU. Did he know you were having a children's get together? Perhaps he thought they'd be spare, but it's still selfish and greedy, he should have asked.

nocoolnamesleft · 01/06/2024 14:46

What a selfish bastard.

Chaiilatte · 01/06/2024 14:44

Jam slags 😂

diddl · 01/06/2024 14:43

So he hates his son?

LookItsMeAgain · 01/06/2024 14:40

My suggestion to this discussion would be to give your DH a blow to the head with a frying pan and when he is out, drive and dump his comatose body by the dumpsters behind a Greggs, with pastry crumbs a plenty on his clothing.

Make sure it's not a local Greggs and don't leave any identification on him either.

Who wants to drive???

In all fairness, don't be including him in what you cook for the family for the time being. When he apologises, and only when he apologises, should he be included in the pot.

Boogiemam · 01/06/2024 14:32

The fact that he's not remorseful for potentially ruining his kids party speaks volumes to what kind of bloke he is. IF and big if, it was a genuine mistake he would try his hardest to bring them back or order a whoosh / deliveroo / urgent delivery or be profusely apologising for making such a thoughtless "mistake".

I'm guessing you've had to now rush around to clean up his mess.

Emeraldsrock · 01/06/2024 14:29

Wow. I’d be locking him out the house if he didn’t bring them back for the party. What an utter dick!

Rightsraptor · 01/06/2024 14:27

I can see it might be a genuine mistake if he'd taken one sausage roll and one jam thingy, but he didn't: as you say he took most of it. May I suggest you insert any remaining jam slags up where the sun don't shine? On your H, of course.

My ex would do similar stuff but not this bad. If I tried to get ahead for the next morning by laying the table for breakfast at night, he'd come home (he worked very silly hours) and use the crockery & cutlery etc on the table.

I think it's a form of jealousy.
