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.

You don’t have to go to such unhinged extremes to get respect. I’m quite capable of standing up for myself without behaving like someone who is genuinely disturbed.

I agree. This behaviour is so out of the norm for my partner and anyone I know it just seems awful and weird.

Exactly. And comments that he might apologise and you can move forward etc are unbelievably naive. The only way a moron like this is going to learn not to behave like this in future is if he is seriously inconvenienced himself. I hope OP has warned him about what is going to happen to his favourite stuff if he does not return the food or replace it.

I have been to the shop for jam, and will be making an attempt at inventing jam harlots this afternoon. Watch this space.

I am SO HERE FOR THIS @Persipan

AppleStruddle123 · 01/06/2024 13:25

I bake so rarely this would be grounds for divorce!

Renamed · 01/06/2024 13:29

He did it on purpose - to ruin the party? Or because he thinks all sausage rolls should be for him, fuck the kids? This is so nasty. I hope you manage to have a good party (and I hope the kids take something of his and ruin it)

Zanatdy · 01/06/2024 13:32

Out of order - unless you regularly bake goods. Still it’s good manners anyway to check if you can take it for work when you haven’t cooked it

PilingOnTheAgony · 01/06/2024 13:35

He's taken the stuff for people at work? So he gets to look like the good guy there, while giving not a solitary fuck about his wife and child? What an insufferable cunt.

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.

Blondiney · 01/06/2024 13:37

A jam slag sounds wonderfully sticky.

LondonFox · 01/06/2024 13:39

Next time bake something drenched in laxative.
After literal shitshow at work he may get the message.

OneNiftyPoet · 01/06/2024 13:40

Tell us the jam slag recipe please!

Birump · 01/06/2024 09:32

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.

Bring it hack for what? You seriously can't nip out to the shops? If he does bring them back I hope you don't give it to the other child after your husbands paws have been all over them!

GingerPirate · 01/06/2024 13:43

LizzieSiddal · 01/06/2024 12:42

Does he do things like this a lot. He sounds quite nasty.

Wow - on purpose 😲 🤬

gardenmusic · 01/06/2024 13:46

You clearly spent time, love and money on someone else, you wicked woman, and got your comeuppance!

RegimentalSturgeon · 01/06/2024 13:12

Intrigued by a recipe that makes exactly eight brownies. How big are they?

If you made one egg's worth of Nigella's brownie recipe you'd get 8 small brownies. Or, realistically, do a two egg batch to get 8 more generous ones. The egg is the only element you can't easily scale up or down.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 01/06/2024 13:52

he's taken most of it

really or is that an exaggeration or just a phrase ?

out of 8 of everything, what did he leave

selfish selfish man

is he the father ?

RishiFinallyDidTheRightThing · 01/06/2024 13:52

He's either greedy and selfish or greedy and stupid.

PS I want a jam slag.

Sugargliderwombat · 01/06/2024 13:55

I'm here just for the info about jam slags.

I suppose this is where communication can be quite helpful i.e. 'these are for the kids, please don't eat then'. Never assume anything.

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

Peaceandquietandacuppa · 01/06/2024 14:04

LonelyBones · 01/06/2024 09:48

Im going against the grain here and going to say that, you should have made more or enough for your DH if you knew that he enjoys your baking. A little thoughtfulness goes a long way and now you're angsting over the baking for the party. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is she his mum?? Is it his birthday?? Nope and nope

ifIwerenotanandroid · 01/06/2024 14:05

My (not entirely serious) suggestion is to make him an individual dog food pie for his dinner tonight, & if he objects then you insist that it was not obvious that dog food is for dogs.

LemonMead · 01/06/2024 14:05

Of course he knew. What a self-centred, selfish arsehole

LuckySantangelo35 · 01/06/2024 14:06

Peaceandquietandacuppa · 01/06/2024 14:04

@LonelyBones

quite right! She could always stay up late tonight baking for him though couldn’t she? That would be thoughtful of her , and kind.

ah ha , that sounds like it might be it.
