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.

Dickhead. Don’t cook anything else for him tonight.

LostTheMarble · 01/06/2024 09:39

He’s a dick and he knew.

But this thread is quickly descending into the usual ‘men need to be told every little basic detail about the home life to understand, it’s not totally his fault’. Imagine having such low standards for men you excuse one who takes food from his own child’s party under the guise of ‘how would he know’. How would he not know ffs.

Or even "hey, there's 32 freshly baked treats in the kitchen - are they for any particular purpose, like our child's birthday, or can I have some?"

Show quote history

Exactly this. He’s a dick. He absolutely should have checked. My partner would be upset if I didn’t make enough for him to have some too! But he always checks he can have some if I have baked something before taking anything, and especially if a party were coming up soon!

GrazingSheep · 01/06/2024 09:38

Has he any redeeming qualities?

I'm thinking something like this:

https://bakingwithgranny.co.uk/recipe/buns/rasp-buns/

Which was found by googling 'jam rock cakes' to be safe.

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...

DarkHollowTree · 01/06/2024 09:38

I hope he gets fucking indigestion.

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.

What a horrible man.

Never cook for him again.

FluffyJellyCat · 01/06/2024 09:37

I have a very greedy 20 year old. Plus a sharpie pen. If someone specifically is saving food we right on its container..then there's no way he can pleed innocence

ManchesterGirl2 · 01/06/2024 09:37

How far away is he? Refusing to bring them back is a dick move, it's your kids birthday FFS.

Exactly. Why would OP have just randomly decided to bake a selection of treats for him to take to work. It's obviously ridiculous.

He's a prick.

RookieMa · 01/06/2024 09:36

This not normal behaviour from a DH

Far from it

JamSlag · 01/06/2024 09:36

It takes 5 seconds to say, 'Are these for anything special?'

HateMyNewJobSoMuch · 01/06/2024 09:36

I genuinely could nit be in a relationship with someone like this.

RookieMa · 01/06/2024 09:36

This is not someone you want to spend your life with

DarkHollowTree · 01/06/2024 09:36

I'm absolutely raging on your behalf OP!
How much of it did the greedy bastard take?
No doubt scoffed half for breakfast - if not can you collect them from him? And replace with the saddest sandwich you can manage.

AccountCreateUsername · 01/06/2024 09:36

He’s trying to spoil your day. Don’t let him. It’s a special day for you and your child. Try and have a lovely time but your husband sounds exhausting and incredibly hard work. Well done preparing such a lovely spread and shame on him for sabotaging that.

Is his response out of character? Flowers

Echobelly · 01/06/2024 09:36

Is DS his child? Why the hell would he want to spoil a child's party? It sounds like he knew perfectly well they were for something

OatFlatWhiteForMe · 01/06/2024 09:35

He clearly knew. How selfish and mean of him.

RookieMa · 01/06/2024 09:35

Just don't ever cook him dinner again

Like never

He can fuck right off

JamSlag · 01/06/2024 09:35

It was on purpose.

You need to bin him.

Seriously.

RookieMa · 01/06/2024 09:34

What a fucking dickhead

Absolute fucking bastard

Not even funny this one bloody hell

Honestly if he's done this on purpose I would be done with him

When someone tells you who they are listen!

He's selfish and only cares about himself.
