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.

No fucking way did he think they were for him to take, absolute bullshit of the highest stinkiest degree.

I'd pack his bags!

Next time, leave a note any time your baking is for another's benefit. If he still takes the food, you have a serious problem with your partner.

Next week there will be jam slags in every Greggs around the country.

Blondeerror · 01/06/2024 22:46

Yes it’s obvious the food was prepared for the kids

Blondeerror · 01/06/2024 22:46

So greedy and thoughtless, I’d be fuming.

Right, here we go! After several iterations I think I have produced something worthy of the name 'jam harlots'. Essentially a sort of double-walled freestanding jam tart. Instead of pastry, I used the same biscuit dough I use for stained glass biscuits (it's very buttery and very forgiving). For some unaccountable reason, the posting interface is inviting me to mark these as 'sensitive images'? I can't think why.

(To be absolutely clear, these are not jam slags. I've just taken the opportunity to have a little too much fun. And, at this point, far too much jam...)

You are my hero 👏

CowboyJoanna · 01/06/2024 22:39

YANBU your husband is a greedy twat

YABVVVVVU for calling them jam slags

Peachy2005 · 01/06/2024 22:38

Nope the Internet has nothing…i tried jam slags, Paul hollywood jam tarts, mary berry jam tarts, large jam tarts, large jam tarts with jam ball on top, image searches etc…

This appears to be a unique invention of the family of OP@Birump 😂

LuluBlakey1 · 01/06/2024 22:32

Does anyone have a photo of a Jam Slag or Jam Slags?

Are these Jam Slags?

No, those are Jam Prudes.

Strawberry or raspberry jam though?

Apricot obvs

GameOfJones · 01/06/2024 22:12

Greedy, selfish dickhead.

What kind of person takes food away from their own child and tries to purposefully spoil their child's birthday? It's so telling that his first response when you messaged him wasn't an immediate apology and being mortified. He was defensive and made it your fault. What a gaslighting moron.

He is an absolutely shit dad. You and your DS deserve better.

Are these Jam Slags?

No, these are called "jam drops", in my biscuit recipe book.

DuckbilledSplatterPuff · 01/06/2024 22:09

He took so much because he wanted to play the BIG GUY at work and get praise for handing out goodies.
Selfish
Did it on purpose
Took it from his CHILD
lying that he didn't know it was for Child's birthday.

SinnerBoy · 01/06/2024 21:56

He deserves a suspended sentence.

... At the end of a rope.

CatchHimDerry · 01/06/2024 21:30

Not RTFT, is jam slags a play on the word “tart”? Are there also people calling them jam trollopes and what not? 😂 this is brilliant

VeryStressedMum · 01/06/2024 21:28

Has he done this on purpose because who eats all of that for lunch at work

RogersOrganismicProcess · 01/06/2024 21:25

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.

Ooh like a spicy slag- too hot to handle!

They look like thumbprint biscuits.

I’ve just messaged her to ask if she made the name up herself as clearly I’m missing something 😂

Presumably it's because they are bigger, more jammy, and thus sluttier than the tarts 😂

LuluBlakey1 · 01/06/2024 21:03

Birump · 01/06/2024 14:51

Yes that’s it! ☺️

I would so like to see a photo of a Jam Slag. I can't find one on the internet.

BobbyBiscuits · 01/06/2024 21:00

He took the majority of it, so more than 4 sausage rolls, more than 4 scotch eggs and more than four each of the brownies and lastly the jam fahkin' slaaaaags!!!
For work? At the most if he truly believed they were for sharing he could have taken one of each, at a push. Even then he should've asked.
I'd be absolutely seething.
It's not like him buying a load of shite from a shop would be a suitable substitute.
But maybe the only way to get retribution is make him replace it all from a really posh bakery (get a receipt for proof it's not lidls) out of his own money.
